One common feature of old-growth forests is the presence of many old trees—but how do we measure the age of the trees in these forests? You might know that after a tree has been cut down, you can count the rings on the stump to tell the tree’s age. Researchers can also learn the age of a tree while it’s still living by taking a core sample. This process involves removing a thin cylinder of wood from inside the tree trunk that shows the rings. The earliest growth is at the center, and each year a

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

Mature and old-growth forests are a vital part of a healthy planet. And for the first time ever, the U.S. Forest Service is asking the public to weigh in on their management plan to protect old growth. The current proposal falls way short, containing loopholes that will allow old-growth trees to be sent to the mill — and it doesn’t safeguard the mature trees we’ll need as our climate champions in the future. We have a chance, right now, to save what’s left. Please join us in telling the U.S. For

What are old growth forests like? Here is video 1 (of many) from my visit to the Big Reed Preserve (owned by @tncmaine) — the largest old growth forest in New England. For me, what is so impactful about visiting Big Reed is that it gave me a chance to see what forests have looked like on our landscape for thousands of years, and thus the conditions that so much of our biodiversity is adapted to. However, this is also not a video about how we should leave all forests alone — our modern day forest

Old-growth forests are known for having a forest floor that dips and rises, a characteristic called pit and mound topography. When a large tree falls, part of the roots and attached soil may be lifted out of the ground, leaving behind a pit where the roots were. As the uplifted roots decay, they form a mound next to the pit. Although trees fall and decay in all forests, it can take centuries for pit and mound topography to form across a large area, making it a common feature of old-growth forest

Mature and old-growth forests are a vital part of a healthy planet. They fight climate change by storing massive amounts of carbon; give a home to imperiled species like spotted owls, wolverines and bats; help support healthy watersheds; and withstand wildfire better than young forests. But sadly, most old-growth forests have been logged. The U.S. Forest Service began a process that could restrict logging of old-growth trees in all 128 national forests. It's a start — but it leaves big loopholes

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

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. It’s one of the most shocking examples of indus

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

Where the oldest trees grow 🌲🌳 NASA and the U.S. Forest Service teamed up to create the first-ever inventory of mature and old-growth forests in the United States. They used observations from boots-on-the-ground research as well as NASA’s GEDI instrument, which takes three-dimensional measurements of the planet’s forests and fields from its perch on the International Space Station.

Oregon’s mature and old growth forests are key in the fight against climate change, but did you ever wonder if they’re being protected? In Oregon’s coastal forests, giant trees can absorb carbon at a staggering rate, yet logging on some public lands is on the rise. Why?
