Thanks for your question. It’s with a sad heart that I say, that the last remaining stands of Old Growth (and primary growth) forests are still being cut down today. I grew up in treeplanting camps - I’ve lived in cutblocks. Here’s an org working to educate and protect:

This was a great radio program about an old growth forest you might enjoy. It’s from CBC, our Canadian public broadcaster, so I’m not sure if you can listen? They keep forest locations secret.

This is wonderful education, & great to hear a success story. Do Elhwa guides walk people through actual “old growth” forests? Nice to hear of conservation success. Some remnants of old growth forests are within public reach & accessible for education. Hordes of visitors affects wildlife ecology.

My sharings are as a person who grew up in the wilderness, who lives & works in the wilderness. Old growth is essential habitat for animals to birth babies, den & hide from dangers - the absolute worst of danger being humans. Yes, we must protect old growth. And who must we protect it from? People.

Yes, your response clearly shows that you’re stressed. Hope you’ve a forest nearby to calm your system down within. First of all, not everything belongs to us humans. All forests have the same affect on soothing our systems. Influencers are destroying wild spaces by revealing & promoting locations.

I just like that we went sideways for a moment, from the convo about the epic orange demon and his evil minions … to discuss ~ chesterfields vs couches. A short polite intermission. Ha. Now, back to being pissed off.

Aww, thanks for the reshare Cari! Hope you’re enjoying your day and being creative ☺️

Thanks Andy. Always appreciate your insights & perspective. I really hope we can get an instagram “replacement” soon (but way better). I’m on Bluesky & enjoy the spacious freedom and support I feel here. Don’t know how to use it properly yet. Your encouragement was the final voice to get me here.

Yes!
