'How Blue states...' great article on what we can do...and this older article here about how despite Biden's orders to stop old growth harvesting it still went on. This is why decisions should be made on the ground in the forest, not in DC office buildings: oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2024/11/27/d...

Old-growth forests are complex systems, and we can be (and are) part of the incredible support system that includes trees, fungi, and salmon. Cool science: nutrients from salmon are found in the forest, far from the ocean and river from where they came.
Hi, I’m Dr. Suzanne Simard, & I’ve dedicated my life to studying the deep, interconnected relationships that shape our forests.

My research and creation of The Mother Tree Project have worked to amplify the world where trees, plants, & fungi communicate & support each other. 🌎🌲

🌲Federal funding cuts and layoffs in the National Park Service, BLM, and U.S. Forest Service hit hard. These individuals protect our forests and welcome millions of visitors.
