My #PhotoArt tribute to #BigLonelyDoug - one of the biggest #DouglasFir #trees in the world.

Learn more about this lonely #OldGrowth tree:
"It has the third highest tree score and third widest diameter of any known Douglas-fir in Canada, following the Red Creek Fir in the nearby San Juan Valley and the Bonin Giant in the Coquitlam River watershed in British Columbia's Lower Mainland"

This converted old school bus was my home for a week. While doing roadside volunteer legal support at #SaveOldGrowth #FairyCreek #blockade.

Twig antler headband to coexist better with the trees & wildlife, when out exploring magic within forests. I love ancient, mossy, old growth forests 💚🌲❤️🌲💚

In the distance, the 100-year forest. In the foreground, what’s left when a strip of that forest is felled, yarded, hauled, and most of what’s left is heaped into 4-metre high piles. All of that happened less than 12 months ago. In the next season the forest’s renewal will become evident. In the meantime, there’s a scar. And my memories of stillness, deer, bear, and big Douglas Firs.

As someone who’s wandered through the thick trunks of Vancouver Island his whole life, the Olympic Peninsula forest has been a bit of fantasy. I’ve never walked there. But I’ve seen pictures.
Now, with fascism rampant in the USA, I fear for those trunks. “Better in a mill or lumberyard, filling my pockets,” some logger crony is thinking or saying, right now.
I also fear for my safety. So I won’t be crossing the Juan de Fuca Strait anytime soon. I may never see these thick trunks in the bark, so to speak.

Things are getting complicated. The new War in the Woods features a new complex of players in the “worth more on the logging truck” vs “worth more standing” argument. Climate change *should* be playing a larger role in that argument. But no one seems to give a sh*t about that…

ps. Thanks to @thetyee for keeping me abreast of so much that matters.
