#FlashbackFriday 2019.
Big Lonely Doug - one of the biggest #DouglasFir #trees in the world. Found along the Pacific Circle Route, between #PortRenfrew & Lake #Cowichan - in the Gordon River valley range. It's surrounded by clearcuts. You can't miss seeing it because it stands out, amongst the ecocide.

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"

Hard to show the scale of this old growth beauty from this shot. It takes about 4 humans, holding hands, to hug the whole trunk of this ancient yellow cedar tree.

This #ancient yellow #cedar #tree is older than the Great Wall of China & older than the Vatican.
All #ElderTrees - of this colossal & majestic scale, must be preserved & their ecosystems protected.#OldGrowth #CedarTreeOfLife #WildFirst #ProtectTheWild #BritishColumbia #BCpoli #Canada #SaveOldGrowth #WorthMoreStanding #BCForestryReform #ProtectForests #TreeLovers #TreeHugger #StopDeforestation #StopEcocide #Ecological #Ecosystems #Nature #VancouverIsland #PacificNorthwest #Cascadia #PNW

This beautiful, ancient yellow #cedar tree has a massive, moss covered trunk. It is estimated at over 500 years old. There are very few #ElderTrees of this scale found outside of protected parks on Southern Vancouver Island now. The few remaining unprotected old growth forest tracts should be conserved for stability & longevity of our wild, ancient ecosystems & for the future generations to enjoy/admire/study.
The need to protect old growth forests has been the case for decades but even more important in present times because of accelerated climate change & the increased greedy desperation of corporate ecociders & our governments who aid/abet the pillaging which destroys wild environments that are essential for humans to sustain our lives on Earth. Valuable medicines are found & several medicines have yet to be found in these old growth, coastal temperate, wild rainforests. We need to protect these ancient forests for the above listed & many more important reasons.

A magical tribute to Canada's #GnarliestTree - in #AvatarGrove in #PortRenfrew.
https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/canada-s-gnarliest-tree
https://vancouverislandview.com/finding-port-renfrews-biggest-trees
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.

My frontlines interview with Donna Clark from #XRVancouver has finally uploaded.
I talk about why I'm at the blockades. I talk about the ecocide on my family's matriarch homelands. I talk about the devastating & longterm effects of the US invasion on Vietnam. I talk about how we need to protect/study/find more ancient forest medicines. I talk about colonialism & brutalities. I talk about my amazing resilient villager relations. I talk about how ecocide destroyed my matriarch village ways of life.
I also bring up the sellouts.
We were carpet bombed by #USA #racist terrorists. Fact.
Please take the time to listen to what I have to say. Thank you for those who care enough to listen to me & why I keep fighting for a better world - for all of us.

With #SisterFriends at frontlines. Warrior POC women against ongoing colonial ecocide. I had not slept for 3 days & had not bathed in 8 days at that time. I was chaining myself to bridge & other infrastructure for over a week. I had experienced over 50 RCMP CIRG raids by this time & refused to stop fighting back. We, war survivors, do not back down from colonial forces easily.

Awaiting to be arrested (again) at HeliCamp - named because it was only camp that could take out activists via #helicopter.
This was a very remote, high up in mountain valley resistance camp that I first got death threats from one unhinged logger, from Lake Cowichan & told by one RCMP CIRG guy that I deserve to be raped.
2021 was a helluva year!

#FuckTheRCMP - they flew these #helicopters multiple times, daily, to try & intimidate us. We had Transport Canada verify that this helicopter maneuver & 3 other ones documented at other resistance camp areas was illegal & violated federal regulations but no action was taken to punish people responsible for violations.
This footage was taken before over 100 RCMP CIRG goons raided 4 different #ResistanceCamps.
Voluntary RCMP #CIRG unit was created in 2017 as a strictly corporate mercenaries unit in BC. Approved by #BCNDP government. The same government who has given them multiple budget increases - millions of #BCtaxpayers monies were used for that. Taxpayers monies were also used by #BCgovernment on attempts to criminalize environmental activists in BC courts. Some of the court cases are still ongoing.
RCMP CIRG is a fully voluntary unit & RCMP who choose to join the unit get paid more than regular RCMP goons. It's all about the extra money for these colonial greedy chumps.

Who are the #DomesticTerrorists here?
The unarmed #environmental activists or the state funded, militarized #RCMP #CIRG unit?
Who is the one fighting for humanity & protection of our ecosystems?
Who is protecting the profits only interests of ecocidal corporations & the sellout politicians?
Tell me - who are the real domestic terrorists that you see in these #photos.

Twiggy leads #Indigenous #drumming & singing healing ceremony to help us deal with the multiple day/night raids at river & landback resistance camps. This was around 2pm in afternoon. River & Landback camp crews united for ceremony before going back to our old growth defense stations. By this time, both camps had suffered multiple raids by RCMP CIRG. I had not slept in 3 days. I was taking short rest breaks on cot on bridge, in between going into hard & soft blocks, all day/night for over a week. I chained myself to the bridge for 5 days prior to this ceremony & used a bucket to pee/poop - frontlines activism is not for the weak/people who can't survive without comforts.

Part of #BCRCMP #CIRG unit. #RCMP are taxpayers/state funded, #DomesticTerrorists.
This corporate mercenaries unit only exists in #BritishColumbia & they're violent towards environmental & Indigenous activists. This unit was created solely to protect interests of private ecocidal corporations & they do not protect citizens. The unit should be abolished.Please note: All of these RCMP thugs are wearing the #ThinBlueLine patch AND one of the bigot #colonizers had the nerve to wear a #MoosehidePin too 😤💩 None wore any identification badges & refused to provide their badge numbers when asked - which is illegal in BC, when they voluntarily interact with any citizen. A few of them(not in these photos) actually had put black tape over their identification badges too.

#RCMP was ‘unreasonable’ when setting up exclusion zones around Fairy Creek protest
By Leanne Sanders
Sep 11, 2024The Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the RCMP - #CRCC says that the RCMP was unreasonable in setting up broad #ExclusionZones and checkpoints while enforcing a civil #injunction covering the #FairyCreek area in #BritishColumbia, home to #OldGrowth #forests and a #protest led by people trying to save them.
“In its review, the CRCC found that the broad exclusion zones and checkpoints used by members of the RCMP’s Community-Industry Response Group #CIRG were unreasonable,” said the report released on Wednesday. “The review determined that the RCMP’s demand to search the complainant at a checkpoint on a public road was unfounded, and his arrest, after refusing to agree to the search, was groundless.”
C-IRG is a low-profile RCMP group tasked with responding to protests and other public order events about resource based #industrial projects like #logging and #pipeline construction.

"The increasing severity of #wildfires and #drought highlights that reforming #ForestStewardship – taking better care of the forests, including safeguarding #OldGrowthForests – is one of our best hopes to protect communities across B.C.
Harmful #forestry practices like #clearcutting and #unsustainable #IndustrialLogging make extreme heat and wildfires worse. #Clearcuts are #tinderboxes, more prone to creating embers because dead trees and branches dry out in the hot sun and become more #flammable. Tree plantations and improperly tended young forests also increase wildfire risk: Younger trees have thinner bark and low-hanging branches that can act as ladder fuels, and the trees are often planted too close together, making it easy for fire to spread.
Fortunately, intact and properly managed #forests are more resilient to the worsening wildfires and heatwaves. For example, #OldGrowth #rainforests have dense canopies which provide cooling shade that resists fire. They are cooler and wetter than young forests, acting as giant sponges. Old-growth trees in the drier interior have thick bark, high branches and are widely spaced which all reduce #WildfireRisk.

My nature & ancient trees loving heart breaks, every time I see more clearcut deforestation. With the rapid acceleration of climate change, our foolish, greedy, short-sighted government continues to accept dirty deals with ecocidal corporations - going against public interests. They greenwash & whitewash while still allowing mass clearcuts to happen in disappearing ancient forests on the island.
Please - don't stop fighting to #ProtectOldGrowth #forests 🌲❤️🌲 #AncientTrees need #ForestDefenders in times of increased, rampant #CorporateGreed & sellout #ecocide enabling governments ✊️

They keep killing the ancients.
Men who kill elder trees, are men who kill their children's futures.
Souls must be disconnected from nature & their spirits desperate for money, for them to be OK destroying #OldGrowth forests, for a temporary paycheque.
There are more ethical ways to earn a living.
Stop believing industrial & government #greenwashing lies.
#ClearcutLogging kills #ecosystems & throws #ecological balance out of whack.Government tells us to not fret, that they're managing #forestry better - they're #greedy, #sellout #LIARS. You can go see for yourself, how many clearcuts are still happening on big scales, at several places across Vancouver Island & some parts of BC interior where greedy corporations are decimating the last inland #TemperateRainforest in the world. Our #neoliberal BC NDP government is OK with ongoing mass ecocide - they get money from industry lobbyists 🤑🤮😡
Don't stop, fighting to #ProtectOldGrowth #forests 🌲❤️🌲 #AncientTrees need #ForestDefenders in times of increased, rampant #CorporateGreed & sellout #ecocide enabling governments ✊️

#BritishColumbia #OldGrowth #activists have taken before and after photos of a large area of an #AncientGrove that was #clearcut on #VancouverIsland near #PortAlberni in the #NahmintValley.
The #AncientForestAlliance says that many of the massive #trees that were cut down were over 500 years old, some being up to nine feet across.
Now that the grove has been cut, they are urging the #BCgovernment to immediately correct misidentified #AtRisk #OldGrowth #forests that could be eligible for #LoggingDeferrals.
