This amazing legacy forest on public land is being actively logged in Joyce, WA right now. We need to connect the dots between the destruction of our biosphere, our CO2 emissions and the extreme weather events we're witnessing. elwhalegacyforests.org/ode-to-joyce/ #forests #logging #climate

Good question, we've all been wondering the same thing. Maybe future campaign donations from the timber industry...?

The auction results from the sale of way more legacy forests (including Parched & Tree Well) than @wadnr.bsky.social usually sells in a month - the result of the outgoing administration trying to sell off our most precious forests on their way out the door: www.dnr.wa.gov/publications...

A great first hand account of the difference between what you'll find in a WA DNR (@wadnr.bsky.social) plantation/tree farm vs in a naturally regenerated legacy forest, and why we need to preserve these legacy forests: salish-current.org/2024/12/20/s... #forests #conservation #legacyforests
