"I assumed there was a bright line between the living and the dead, a boundary we cross but twice, once on our way into life and once on our way out. But here the line is blurred. In the afterlife of cedars, nothing is ever dead." —Robin Wall Kimmerer for @emergencemagazine
18/06/2025 - A lovely day spent at Camperdown Country Park in Dundee. We were there to see the 'Camperdown Elm'. But there is also a great tree walk which is well worth doing. Some unusual trees. It was good fun trying to find them all. After a sit and our butties we tried to get the 3 cedars sorted in our heads. They have all 3 next to each other (I think!) which was great to compare. I find them tricky but just wonderful trees.
The #BCNDP #BCgovernment has said no to a proposal to create a #ProtectedArea for an area of #OldGrowth #cedars near #DuncanLake.
"At this time, #BCParks is not considering including this area in the provincial protected areas system," wrote Minister of Land, Water and Resource Stewardship #NathanCullen in a letter to Grant Trower of Howser, B.C., on Sept. 3.
Trower is the founder of the group #WildlifeHabitatsForTomorrow that has been advocating for the protection of a 531-hectare grove and wetland.
He wants #BritishColumbia to declare the #CedarGroves a protected area, which is a category of protection just short of a full-fledged provincial park.
“There are many #trees in this grove that are well over 1,000 years old, and one that is estimated to be 2,100 years old,” said Trower. “They are the largest trees in the whole southern interior #rainforest. It isn’t just old growth. It’s #ancient old growth.”
He told the Nelson Star that Cullen's letter will not deter him.
"The advocacy is ongoing to ensure this special place will remain for our kids and grandchildren, for this grove is unique and easy to experience," he said, adding that the next steps will include media attention, targeted field trips and obtaining #FirstNations #endorsement.
