Hard to show the scale of this old growth beauty from this shot. It takes about 4 humans, holding hands, to hug the whole trunk of this ancient yellow cedar tree.

This #ancient yellow #cedar #tree is older than the Great Wall of China & older than the Vatican.
All #ElderTrees - of this colossal & majestic scale, must be preserved & their ecosystems protected.

This beautiful, ancient yellow #cedar tree has a massive, moss covered trunk. It is estimated at over 500 years old. There are very few #ElderTrees of this scale found outside of protected parks on Southern Vancouver Island now. The few remaining unprotected old growth forest tracts should be conserved for stability & longevity of our wild, ancient ecosystems & for the future generations to enjoy/admire/study.
The need to protect old growth forests has been the case for decades but even more important in present times because of accelerated climate change & the increased greedy desperation of corporate ecociders & our governments who aid/abet the pillaging which destroys wild environments that are essential for humans to sustain our lives on Earth. Valuable medicines are found & several medicines have yet to be found in these old growth, coastal temperate, wild rainforests. We need to protect these ancient forests for the above listed & many more important reasons.

I'm a proud longtime #treehugger - I love trees more than most humans.
There's incredible #magical #pure #natural #energy in #forests - especially #AncientForests w/many #OldGrowth #trees still standing. It should be criminal to cut down #ElderTrees ✊

Pioneering forestry researcher Suzanne Simard to receive the 2023 Lewis Thomas Prize - News
In her scientific memoir, Finding the Mother Tree: Discovering the Wisdom of the Forest, forestry researcher Suzanne Simard gracefully intertwines her private and professional lives. As a child, she learned the rough-and-ready ways of her logging ancestors and developed a deep devotion and commitment to forests. As a researcher, she pressed colleagues to look beyond […]

#Giant #ancient #OldGrowth #cedar #trees in #ClayoquotSound 🌲🌲These #magnificent #ElderTrees were once all on #BCgovernment & #logging industry chop wishlist. They were saved by thousands of us #EcoActivists blockading for years to #protect them. #WorthMoreStanding for #biodiversity #ecosystems & future generations to enjoy.
