  1. My #PhotoArt tribute to #BigLonelyDoug - one of the biggest #DouglasFir #trees in the world.

    Learn more about this lonely #OldGrowth tree:
    "It has the third highest tree score and third widest diameter of any known Douglas-fir in Canada, following the Red Creek Fir in the nearby San Juan Valley and the Bonin Giant in the Coquitlam River watershed in British Columbia's Lower Mainland"

    A magical tribute to Canada's #GnarliestTree - in #AvatarGrove in #PortRenfrew.

    We fought hard to save the ancient trees & their life-sustaining wild ecosystems, to get Avatar Grove area protected & turned into a public park. It was previously on the corporate deforestation list prior to the hard grassroots fight to save this area of Port Renfrew, where old growth forests were rapidly dwindling due to colonial capitalist style of short-term greedy gains & putting nature last. Nature should be first.

  8. The #BCNDP #BCgovernment has said no to a proposal to create a #ProtectedArea for an area of #OldGrowth #cedars near #DuncanLake.

    "At this time, #BCParks is not considering including this area in the provincial protected areas system," wrote Minister of Land, Water and Resource Stewardship #NathanCullen in a letter to Grant Trower of Howser, B.C., on Sept. 3.

    Trower is the founder of the group #WildlifeHabitatsForTomorrow that has been advocating for the protection of a 531-hectare grove and wetland.

    He wants #BritishColumbia to declare the #CedarGroves a protected area, which is a category of protection just short of a full-fledged provincial park.

    “There are many #trees in this grove that are well over 1,000 years old, and one that is estimated to be 2,100 years old,” said Trower. “They are the largest trees in the whole southern interior #rainforest. It isn’t just old growth. It’s #ancient old growth.”

    He told the Nelson Star that Cullen's letter will not deter him.

    "The advocacy is ongoing to ensure this special place will remain for our kids and grandchildren, for this grove is unique and easy to experience," he said, adding that the next steps will include media attention, targeted field trips and obtaining #FirstNations #endorsement.

  13. In late June, #BritishColumbia & #GovernmentOfCanada announced that they’ve helped non-profit foundations & trusts buy 8 parcels of land from private owners for #OldGrowth #Conservation, largely on and around #VancouverIsland.

    However, all but one of the #forests included in this purchase announcement do not contain old-growth #trees, defined by the #BCgovernment as 250-year-old #CoastalForests & 140-year-old forests in parts of the #BCInterior. Instead, 7 of 8 purchased properties contain what’s called “recruitment” old-growth — that is, forests that have been #logged.

    Photos taken by members of #environmental organization #AncientForestAlliance #AFA earlier this month show massive old-growth trees being logged by #BCTimberSales, #BCNDP’s own #logging agency, in the Nahmint Valley on Vancouver Island. Some of these trees are more than 500 yrs old, according to the organization.
