Stilly Revisited contains cedars and hemlocks are 140-200+ years old. IRREPLACEABLE! Logging this forest threatens the Stillaguamish River. #forests #ClimateForests

Stop the "Stilly Revisited" and "Ridge Ender" timber sales!

Take 1 minute to send a pre-written email to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), urging them to save the "Stilly Revisited" and "Ridge Ender" forests in Snohomish County from clearcut logging. These old healthy forests have unfortunately become rare, and we can't afford to lose any more of them. DNR is currently accepting public comments for these sales. Tell them mature forests are #worthmorestanding

"Both forests contain around 200 acres of old naturally regenerated mature forest, living testament to the resilience of nature in the face of intensive resource extraction dominating the surrounding landscape."

"Last year, 6.6 million hectares, or more than 16 million acres of land, was deforested worldwide. Of that, more than 4.1 million hectares, or more than 10 million acres—an area larger than Massachusetts and New Jersey combined—was primary forest."

This is a tragedy. Mature and old growth forests are irreplaceable! And MOG are our best natural climate solution. #ClimateForests

Most Countries are Falling Short of Their Promises to Stop Cutting Down the World’s Trees - Inside Climate News

Despite the urgency behind global pledges to stop cutting down trees and damaging forests, the world lost tens of millions of acres of woodlands in 2022, veering well off track from meeting targets to halt deforestation and reversing modest progress from the previous year. Last year, 6.6 million hectares, or more than 16 million acres […]

The U.S. has cataloged its forests. Now comes the hard part: Protecting them

Environmental groups doled out general praise, with caveats, for a new inventory by the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) that identified 178 million acres (72 million hectares) of mature and old-growth forests across federal lands in all 50 states — covering a combined area larger than the state of Texas. “[This […]
