354-year-old forest found in Algonquin Park

Old-growth forests that have been alive since the 1600s were found in a logging zone, placing them at risk, according to researchers and advocates.

Taking the road less traveled is never easy, it often isn't smooth, but my oh my it sure has moments that are extra beautiful.

I half expected to see Totoro lounging in the moss. I did get hit with some acorns though

Sunday reflection time could not be better: Picking raspberries in my thriving garden while listening to Robin Wall Kimmerer read her essay "Becoming Earth: An Experimental Theology" in Emergence Magazine https://pca.st/episode/6ef8aafc-aea8-436e-b25a-5bb8939df9d3. #trees #ecology #death #rebirth #emergence #plants #soil #humus #SoilScience #forest #OldGrowthForest #CarbonCycle #environment #science

This past weekend I met up with @morgancarmont to go explore the forests of #VancouverIsland. To say we had an epic weekend would be an understatement.

Amongst our many adventures, we found a new #oldgrowthforest to explore and I had to take a photo in front of one - the size of them is just incomprehensible otherwise. For reference, I am over 187cm tall. This single Big Leaf Maple is easily 5m+ diameter at its base.
