We fought hard to save the ancient trees & their life-sustaining wild ecosystems, to get Avatar Grove area protected & turned into a public park. It was previously on the corporate deforestation list prior to the hard grassroots fight to save this area of Port Renfrew, where old growth forests were rapidly dwindling due to colonial capitalist style of short-term greedy gains & putting nature last. Nature should be first.

Canada's Knottiest Tree

By public opinion, this is Canada's knottiest tree.

Double rainbow over the beech and the back garden this morning. #ThickTrunkThurday

Not even sure if this is #LichenSubscribe or #Sporespondence or whatnot. But I liked the colors so here it is 😄

Are we still doing #ThickTrunkThurday or is it Tuesday? Either way...look at this beauty!

Es lohnt sich nach oben zu schauen, aber man muss gut verwurzelt sein, wie dieser Baum ...
