Great video on roadless areas around #lassenpark in #EasternCalifornia by a forest manager and cartographer.

Logging risked areas may not help with fire and land management. There's a lot of nuance that goes into proper stewardship of forests, highly managed forests of dense monocrop trees burn hotter than less continuous and varied stands actively managed with prescribed fire.

Slovakia scraps its High Tatras zoning plan amid logging controversy.

Slovakia has scrapped a controversial zoning plan for its prized High Tatras park, after legal backlash and fears for endangered birds over the government’s push to open protected forests to logging.

But with EU funds at stake, the fight is far from over.

Another excellent article on the hydrological effects of clearcut logging. Be sure to take the time to watch the video featuring UBC forest hydrologist Younis Alila. Alila and his colleagues have transformed the way we analyze logging impacts on floods, drought, mass wasting, and sediment delivery to streams from logging operations.

Hiking to historic and scenic Calpine Lookout

While in Northern California for a wedding, we decided to hike up to one of the classic wooden wildfire lookout towers of the state. Calpine Lookout, situated in Tahoe National Forest since 1934 is simply lovely. The white clapboard structure sits gracefully at the summit of the 5,980 foot mountain.

View from Calpine Lookout

The 17-foot tall tower was constructed for the U.S. Forest Service by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression and is now available for overnight stays. When unoccupied, a walk around the second level exterior gangplank allows a wonderful and informative first hand glimpse into the living conditions of Forest Service Lookout personnel.

The surrounding scenery is spectacular with one exception. Logging is taking place on a portion of Calpine’s access drive and it degrades the otherwise glorious experience. Approximately one-third of the hike to the summit along is spent looking at fallen and stacked trees, as well as disturbed vegetation. All one could think of while trekking past this was John Steinbeck’s famous pondrance of “why progress looks so much like destruction?”

Fortunately, at the summit, no such work is taking place, so the historic setting remains as it has been for many decades. Mother Nature has graced this historic site and hopefully both she and Father Time will continue to bless it for many decades yet to come. Peace!

Between Dec 2024 and March 2025, 362 #wolves were killed by #government
contractors—an alarming spike from 248 the year before.

For nearly a decade, wolves have been scapegoated as part of B.C.’s #caribou
recovery strategy—even as #logging continues in critical caribou #habitat.

But there’s a glimmer of hope: B.C. Timber Sales just paused logging in a portion of core caribou habitat near #Revelstoke following public pressure.
