damn straight on old growth and snags - ask any bat. #oregon #pnw #oldgrowth #protectourforests #banclearcuts
Old-growth forests don’t vanish all at once.
They lose structure.
They lose time.
They lose the ability to regenerate complexity.
What grows on top of an old snag tells you whether a forest is still functioning — or just standing.

Life After Death: The Hidden Ecosystems Growing on Old Snags

We sued the Department of the Interior and the U.S. Forest Service last week for failing to release public records about the Trump administration’s plans to rapidly expand logging in the nation’s forests.
These forests belong to all of us, not just the timber industry.

this is good but **protecting existing trees** is almost always better to begin with. Nature is still far better at protecting itself than man trying to reinvent the wheel. Ask the cliimate or the ocean, for example. #protectourtrees #banclearcuts #pavementisforever
Communities across the U.S. are turning small plots of land into highly dense forests that grow quickly. Turns out these forests have roots to a decades-old planting method that originated in Japan. n.pr/43wxSdT
Why a decades-old forest planting practice from Japan is gaining traction in the U.S.

'active management' is the same crock of s*** as 'salvage logging' - otherwise known as GREED. Humans are far from experts on how to provide a balanced ecosystem, unless you count introducing invasives and overcorrecting when not just clearcutting. #greed #hypocrisy #doublespeak #banclearcuts
Op-Ed: ‘Active management’ harms forests — and it’s about to get a whole lot worse.
Forest management approaches promoted as “resilience,” “restoration,” “fuel reduction,” and “forest health” often degrade natural systems and reduce carbon stocks.

this is only **partially** true - PROTECTING existing trees is the best way (and under the oceans, kelp forests) - THEN comes planting. #protectforests #protecturbantrees #climate #banclearcuts #banMcMansions #sustainablecitiesincludetrees #trees
Tree planting is still the best way to remove carbon, despite climate and economic risks, say researchers
Tree planting can be the most cost-effective way of removing carbon as long as careful choices are made about which type of trees to plant and where.
