My 'Far Side' Caption: 

Despite a lifetime of effort trying to hide himself, everyone always knew Franklin was a tree.

#ThickTrunkTuesday #SitkaSpruce Awesome is such an overused term, however this was an awe-inspiring experience (despite the touristy setting) #PNW #VancouverIsland #BigTrees #Trees #Forest
Early #ThickTrunkTuesday & #MeerMittwoch while in signal. Travelled from Glasgow airport #Renfrew to #PortRenfrew #PNW #VancouverIsland on a #BusmansHoliday to see #SitkaSpruce in its native range...& other stuff too, honest. #NotWeird. #trees #forests #foresters
#Love at first sight #Canada 💕
Sitka spruce covered in moss, all the lower branches are a delicate green tapestry of fine moss that thrives on the wet climate (Sep-April). Only in the tops (up to 100m) will the tree have its own needles. #sitkaspruce #moss #nature #hiking #britishcolumbia
Even though my allergies are ridiculous this month from tree pollen…. #ThickTrunkTuesday #Seaside #Oregon #Explore #SitkaSpruce

Join the protest against the Coillte/Vulture Fund Deal outside the Dáil in Dublin today, Thursday the 26th, 12.30pm.

The more people come along and make their feelings known, the more chance we have of stopping this outrage dead in its tracks.

I was surprised to read that Coilte sitka spruce plantations are not carbon sinks however when I think about what the article says it makes sense,

Irish forestry ‘net emitter of greenhouse gases’

FIE says ‘any hope that new afforestation can miraculously be counted to meet short-term carbon budgets is misplaced’
