I got this book for free 😃 It's an incredible, fully illustrated, children's book about an old growth tree in an ancient forest & the wildlife, flora & mycelium, which all support each other in the ecosystem.

A Tree in the Ancient Forest by Carol Reed Jones & illustrated with drawings by Christopher Canyon.

A really wonderful, educational book that all ages would enjoy & appreciate. This was a fabulous #FreeBook score 💚 It doesn't fit inside my little free library so I'm gifting it to a nearby community center's children's library 😊

We have quite a few Persian immigrants & former refugees of Iran who live in Victoria, BC. One of my good friends, fellow photog, is a Persian immigrant.

There's a lot more to #Iran than just ongoing political strifes, desert lands & religious power conflicts. It's a mostly misunderstood & relatively unknown place to most people from Western worlds. #Persians have a very deep, culturally rich & long history there. Their peoples are highly resilient, creative masters, well educated & quite inventive. Iran is the birthplace of #algebra. It's culturally rich with many beautifully decorated architectural structures all over the country.

Iran also has one of the last broadleaf #AncientForests in the world. It has multiple contrasts in climate - which is why you can experience extreme heat to cold, snow covered mountains, in a day of travel. It has some of the most stunning & interesting landscapes on Earth. It's the 17th largest, sovereign nation in the world. Iran has survived multiple foreign invasion attacks in their past & are very experienced with fighting to protect their homelands.

[ From majestic mountains and lush valleys to dramatic deserts and ancient cities, this travel #documentary explores the most beautiful places in Iran. Journey through breathtaking landscapes, historic Persian sites, and vibrant local culture. Discover #UNESCO #WorldHeritage sites, colorful mosques, remote villages, and timeless traditions that define Iran’s rich #heritage. A cinematic look at one of the world’s most fascinating and underrated travel destinations. ]

Take a stand for our irreplaceable forests. Let the BC NDP government know that WE DO NOT SUPPORT the accelerated logging of the last remnants of old-growth forests.

Report: Endangered old-growth forests identified for interim protection targeted by logging industry by forester Dave Daust and ecologist Karen Price, released just this week, reveals that at-risk old-growth forests recommended for deferral are being clearcut four times faster than other old growth.
