#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"

This converted old school bus was my home for a week. While doing roadside volunteer legal support at #SaveOldGrowth #FairyCreek #blockade.

Twig antler headband to coexist better with the trees & wildlife, when out exploring magic within forests. I love ancient, mossy, old growth forests 💚🌲❤️🌲💚

In the distance, the 100-year forest. In the foreground, what’s left when a strip of that forest is felled, yarded, hauled, and most of what’s left is heaped into 4-metre high piles. All of that happened less than 12 months ago. In the next season the forest’s renewal will become evident. In the meantime, there’s a scar. And my memories of stillness, deer, bear, and big Douglas Firs.

A year ago there was a narrow but beautiful and well-grown strip of second-growth Douglas Fir. 100+ year old trees. When they’re gone, they’re gone.
I miss that those trees.

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.

Young #cedar #tree is all dressed in magnificent #mosses & #lichen 💚
One of the lovely sights you can see & admire, while exploring the coastal temperate rainforests in BC.

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.

Posting some of my older photos because I've been stuck at home for a bit & I have a ton of old photo memories.

This is from 2021. I went up for frontlines arrestees court support in #Nanaimo. Pictured here with sister-friend Ojistoh, Grandma Losa, Chiykotin & sister-friend Raven(Wolf) in front of Nanaimo courthouse.

Belated #ThickTrunkTuesday entry.

This #ancient red #cedar is close to 500 yrs old. It's one of the last remaining #OldGrowth cedars within #CRD areas on South #VancouverIsland & we need rest of unprotected #AncientForests protected for perpetuity.

#Flashback of being #interviewed at #FairyCreekBlockade in Summer 2021. This was done right after one of my intake gate shifts. I'm not on #Facebook anymore but you can access the interview vid on Donna's profile there.

#ClayoquotSound #WarOfTheWoods was where I learned how to be a serious #ecoactivist . I was 15 yrs old. I was arrested multiple times during the long fight to save #OldGrowth in #BritishColumbia . We're still fighting to this day. #StopEcocide #stopclearcuts #forestdefenders #earthprotectors #waterprotectors #OneEarth #SacredForests #WorthMoreStanding #WorthMoreStanding #PNW #PacificNorthwest #Historic
