All eyes are on you @jjhorgan @bcndp - will you stand by whilst precious old-growth forests in BC are cut down? https://t.co/loH49mP0iD #bcpoli #oldgrowth #fairycreek

[Leadnow @leadnowca]

Concerned citizens have crowdfunded this ad in the @VancouverSun today calling on you to fulfill your promise to protect old-growth @jjhorgan @bcndp. Don’t stand by as they are cut down. Defer logging of all at-risk old-growth now. #bcpoli #OldGrowth @standearth @wildernews

12 years ago @jjhorgan. Imagine if action had been taken then to protect #oldgrowth? This petition has only multiplied while the amount of ancient forests has dwindled. Time to hit pause. #bcpoli @nathancullen @KatrineConroy

Two new books reorient and inspire our collective understanding of trees, writes @rebeccagiggs. “This newfound tree is networked, sensitive, companionate, and communicative ... capable of so much more than we once imagined.” https://t.co/QRj5EbJjEl

#ICYMI "The biggest, oldest trees are mother trees that recognize and nourish their own kin... we *ARE* standing witness to the falling of some of the last of the mother trees, the very life support systems of my children’s future," writes @DrSuzanneSimard https://t.co/zs0WrHBr0i

Vicky Husband: It took 150 years to get to this reckoning. The most extreme damage happened in the last 70 years, as B.C. liquidated ancient forests to “build the province.”

What do Premier John Horgan and Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro have in common? Ask an old-growth forest near you - if you can find one. Elder & Order-of-Canada recipient, Vicky Husband, calls for end to logging BC's last ancient forests. #bcpoli #cdnpoli @TheTyee https://t.co/0SJ4G6A9ev

Premier's response just now:

"We honour the Hišuk ma c̕awak Declaration. And we are pleased to enter into respectful discussions with the Nations regarding their request. We understand the request must be addressed expeditiously, and we will ensure a prompt response." #bcpoli

British Columbia’s old-growth forests are nearly gone. @jjhorgan promised to protect ancient trees, but he still hasn’t acted. We need a moratorium on logging now. #ProtectOldGrowth #BCpoli https://t.co/zWSmjTjCDZ

[Leadnow @leadnowca]

Crowdfunded by @wildernews @AncientForestBC @SierraClubBC & @leadnowca, we’re putting up a massive billboard on Vancouver Island’s busiest highway calling on @jjhorgan to deliver on his promise to protect old-growth.

Share this to make sure he sees it. #ProtectOldGrowth #BCpoli

"Cutting old growth, in other words, represents a complete lack of foresight. We are on the cusp of losing the last remaining giant trees of Vancouver Island, and it won’t take a few years or a decade but many centuries to get this resource back."

[Wild_Empathy @empathy_wild]

"The words “old growth” suggest a Tolkienesque grove where every tree is a behemoth. But in reality, each stage of life is represented, from seedling to skyscraper. These forests are not simply original; they are complete."

[The Walrus @thewalrus]

British Columbia’s old-growth forest battle is heating up. @hmrustad, a features editor at The Walrus, will take over @thewalrus account to explain more. For a backgrounder, here’s his story from 2016: https://t.co/KLBnlnUQVA 1/9

[Jens Wieting @JensWieting]

Leadership begins with telling the truth. Thanks to @justine_hunter for sharing it: the last highly productive intact #oldgrowth ecosystems like #FairyCreek make up less than 1% of B.C.’s #forest @jjhorgan @KatrineConroy Keep your promise & save it #bcpoli https://t.co/8PtW907wpu

[Wildsight @wildsight]

"We can’t skate over these problems any more. We have solutions that work. Protecting B.C.’s old-growth forests is a win for people and wildlife, today and for the future."

Scott Niedermayer stands up for BC's irreplaceable old growth forests.

[Torrance Coste @TorranceCoste]

With a federal election on the near horizon, @theJagmeetSingh would do well to make a strong statement on the need to protect old-growth forests.

The association with the @bcndp right now is going to really hurt a lot of @NDP candidates in BC.

The sound of the seasons captured through the sonification of an ancient Western Red Cedar’s growth rings — an ambient translation of the darker dormant winters and light summer growth from the forests of the Pacific Northwest. Part of the Wild Empathy project w/ @simonlysander

Logging and road building has been blocked for nearly eight months, and now things could heat up on the backroads.
