If you don't feel small, underneath old growth trees....older than our great grandparents...there is something that is quite sick, within.
Ancient trees have mesmerizing energies. What a shame, when mankind cannot truly see the forest, when looking at an elder tree.
What other irreplaceable moments are you missing to see/to admire, knowing when an elder tree or two or three or more is clear-cut? Does it make you feel anything different than you do, now? If you don't want more ancient trees/forests cut down, what are you willing to do to help us?

I got this book for free 😃 It's an incredible, fully illustrated, children's book about an old growth tree in an ancient forest & the wildlife, flora & mycelium, which all support each other in the ecosystem.
A Tree in the Ancient Forest by Carol Reed Jones & illustrated with drawings by Christopher Canyon.
A really wonderful, educational book that all ages would enjoy & appreciate. This was a fabulous #FreeBook score 💚 It doesn't fit inside my little free library so I'm gifting it to a nearby community center's children's library 😊

#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"

Hey everyone, I know both Zain & his wife, Sophia. We all worked together for #SaveOldGrowth & #StopEcocide work here in #BritishColumbia. What's happened to Zain is unjust & I'm asking you all to please read this whole post & sign the #petition. Thanks for your time & help. Please boost for wider reach.
* Last week, Prime Minister #MarkCarney revealed Lena Metledge Diab will serve as Canada’s new Immigration Minister.
The first thing Diab should do as Minister is bring #ClimateActivist Zain Haq back to Canada by greenlighting his Temporary Residence Permit that has been processing since January.
Zain was deported to Pakistan in January for climate activism that resulted in low-level mischief charges. He’d been living in Canada his entire adult life, and with his Canadian wife, Sophia Papp, since 2023.
Sophia has been given the devastating choice to remain in Canada without her spouse or relocate to #Pakistan , where she doesn’t speak the language and faces significant barriers to her health and wellbeing.
A mere 48 hours before Zain was deported, he and Sophia’s Spousal Sponsorship application was rejected by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) without substantive explanation.
The couple’s lawyer, Randall Cohn, has stated that this eleventh-hour rejection is likely illegal. It also denied Zain and Sophia’s right to procedural fairness, since they didn’t have time to access the appeal process enshrined in the #BillOfRights.
Zain and Sophia’s situation is reminiscent of the #unethical treatment of many #migrants in the U.S.
#IRCC ’s last minute rejection of a young couple’s Sponsorship Application without substantive reason should raise alarm bells for anyone of conscience, but especially for those with a #legal background – and before getting into #politics , Minister Diab was a #lawyer in Halifax. That’s why we have to get Zain’s file on her desk as soon as possible. *

@edwiebe
I think #WeFixTheClimateOrItFixesUs is the the only bottom line that ultimately matters...As a society we need to find ways to support workers in industries that must transition; also, workers and managers in those industries need to be willing to consider change.

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.

A beautiful moss covered Western red #cedar #tree - still unprotected.
Only a human, with a compromised & unwell soul, would be OK killing an elder tree this magnificent. Some things are just plain wrong.These ancient old growth trees are essential to fighting accelerated #ClimateChange. #OldGrowth ecosystems in our coastal temperate rainforests supports much biodiverse lifeforms. The naturally moist environment helps to lower impacts of wildfires & other natural disasters that have increased as our governments continue to fund & enable more ecocidal projects.

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.

*Please note:
https://beige.party/@PhoenixSerenity/114966801236825439The #documentary film that I'm featured in is now available for #free viewing:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb4q_dXo7BwIt includes footage & shared #deforestation issues with the #Amazon. It's all connected.
I'm holding back tears near the end of it. I was arrested a few days after doing the documentary film interview at gate to River & Landback resistance camps.

Fellow #SaveOldGrowth forest defender, Sheena, made a short film. It includes the jingle dance circle with me & several other #environmental #landback #activists on the bridge between River & Landback resistance camps.
River & Landback camps were main strongholds at Fairy Creek blockade. River camp was the first resistance camp set up in 2020 & it ran for a year before final big raid. There are 2 very rough logging roads that lead up to untouched old growth forest tracts from these camps. River camp is also where people could go hike to see/visit with Grandmother & Grandfather cedars. After we were removed, industry started cutting more roads up into the untouched old growth tracts. Teal Jones logging company has since pulled out due to financial issues & everything is up in the air at this time. Temporary deferral was renewed this year for some tracts by this one particular area in the watershed. Still hoping for permanent protections as the elder trees are not included in this small deferral.
"My student documentary on the Fairy Creek/Ada'itsx old growth forest blockade 🌲 something of a collage, made with many hands and hearts. While the blockade and movement has evolved and gone through many stages, the momentum remains and many still carry forth the activism in heart and deed."

Up there in Fairy Creek they are fighting for the ancient forest from high in the trees on platforms rigged of rope and wood the chainsaws from Mulo just could send them falling
Brave protectors of the Fairy Creek blockade, this song's for you.I believe in the good things coming
I believe in the love that lives on this earth Of Brazilian bodies
I am here to receive, I am here to give
Stay brave, protectors of the Fairy Creek blockade
A hundred elders marched the dawn up a hill to stand upon a holy grove of trees
Older than the Notre Dame
Past picket lines and ATVs they sang for the land they wished to leave home for their children's children
Singing I believe in the good things coming
I believe in the love that lives on this earth the Brazilian bodies
I am here to receive I am here to hear
Stay brave, protectors of Fairy Creek
There's a war been going on through the soul of the world since the break of dawn, how do we share this land we stand upon?I am a newborn to this place
Though I've lived here all my life
My ancestors came across the sea to stand for what they thought was right they broke trust treaties too can't unright the past is true
But I'm here to understand and stand with you Singing I believe in the good things
I believe in the love that lives on this earth of resilient bodies
I am here to receive, I am here to give
Stay brave, protectors of the Fairy Creek blockade
My whole story is in my heart
Gentle as they fall apart the land remembers more than I ever will
Still I'm here to witness this
Brave ones high up in the trees the sweetness of your farewell kiss the gentle of the morning breeze what stories will they tell of me
One day soon that's all will be
Amid a distant memory what stories will they tell?And today we sing
I believe in the good things
I believe in the love that lives on this earth of Brazil.#IndieMusic #Music #FolkMusic #ActivistMusic #Lyrics #Environmentalist #NatureGuardians #SaveOldGrowth #WorthMoreStanding #LastStandForAncientForests #VancouverIsland #PacificNorthwest #ProtestSongs #FolkSong
