When is a forest an old growth forest? There are some qualifiers, Griff Griffith will reveal a few. An old-growth redwood forest is a rare, ancient ecosystem dominated by coast redwood trees (Sequoia sempervirens) that have grown for hundreds to thousands of years with minimal industrial disturbance. These forests are defined not just by big trees, but by complex structure: massive trunks, layered canopies, standing dead trees (snags), fallen logs, rich soils, and cool, moist microclimates that

Shocking drone footage reveals the brutal impacts of old-growth logging in British Columbia, Canada. Scores of ancient cedars, some nearly 10 feet (3 meters) wide and many well over 500 years old, would have been alive and standing just before we arrived that day. However, in 2022, Western Forest Products clearcut 25 hectares (roughly 50 football fields) from an incredible old-growth grove on northwestern Vancouver Island, BC in Quatsino territory.

What’s an old-growth forest? This is my second video from Big Reed, the largest old growth forest in New England. There are a lot of different definitions for “old growth” but most fall into one or more of these three buckets — forests that are “primary” or “virgin”; forests that are “old”; or forests that are “late-successional” I.e. that have an array of attributes that functionally describe how forests have existed on this landscape for millennia. Also note that my description of late-success

Logging concerns around Vancouver Island’s famous old-growth forest

Video footage captured by AFA’s TJ Watt & Ian Thomas in the summer of 2023 reveals the active destruction of rare, “big-tree” old-growth forests missed for deferral on northern Vancouver Island in Quatsino territory. Western Forest Products has approval to cut 36.5 hectares (roughly 68 football fields) of endangered old-growth in this block alone. Home to scores of giant trees, some of which were more than 10 ft (3 m) wide and likely 500 years old, this particular grove — and many others like it

This old growth giant redwood tree was over 2 thousand years old when it was cut down. These trees are older then the United States of America and should have never been logged in the first place.

Protecting mature and old growth forests is crucial if we want to stop megafires. California is covered in unhealthy second growth forests being unmanaged and monoculture tree plantations that are logged every 50 years for profit. These are the true reason we see mega fires in California now. That and Smokey the bear. Monoculture forests are green deserts where only profit matters and biodiversity dies.

Protecting old growth tree forest ecosystems means protecting habitats that endangered species depend on. Planting a bunch of trees after you clear cut logged a old growth forest is capitalism. Not conservation. And viral videos of people planting monocultures of trees are blatant greenwashing. Today we are chilling in one of the last old growth oak tree forests left in sacramento county. A old growth forest that was almost cut down to build more suburbs with grass lawns that do not benefit wild

B.C. unveils plans to defer logging of old-growth forests

Global NewsBrenna Owen

Protect the last remaining old growth forests 🌲💚. They are irreplaceable ecosystems that store carbon, regulate water, and support incredible biodiversity. Many species depend on old-growth including the threatened Marbled Murrelet and Northern Goshawk, and the nearly extirpated Northern Spotted Owl. When old-growth disappears, species that rely on it disappear too. Help protect old-growth by supporting nonprofits working on the ground and in policy reform: @ancientforestalliance @sierraclubbc

Love how hyped this guy gets about old growth forests!🌲💚 #based Repost @sacramentofoodforest ⬇️ California and Canada are covered in unhealthy second growth monoculture tree plantations that are logged every 50 years. This is because most of the old growth redwoods and Douglas fir trees have already been logged in California. Logging old growth is completely unsustainable, and replacing every old growth tree by planting a bunch of new trees does not help the environment. It makes wildfires wor

The latest old-growth trends and recent news about a leaked B.C. Ministry of Forests map confirmed with grave detail how much irreplaceable old growth could be lost forever unless we take stronger action. The latest data shows that more than half of the most endangered old-growth forests recommended for deferrals remain open to logging. At the same time, old-growth logging continues at a gut-wrenching rate of about 160 soccer fields per day. How do these trends resonate with you? We recognize th
