From The Discourse, Cowichan area based independent media. Please take the #survey if you care about access to #wilderness areas. Mosaic is one of the worst ecocide corporations in BC & they're responsible for much #deforestation on #VanIsle & surrounding islands.
Mosaic published a survey earlier this month to gather public input on responsible recreation. The company says it will use the survey results to guide the company’s “commitment to responsible #ForestStewardship — balancing public recreation with #environmental protection.”
If you’d like to let Mosaic know what you think about opening up the gates to the private land it manages, the survey is open until May 23.

The Discourse published an article by reporter Rowan Flood covering the ongoing battle between outdoor recreation groups and Mosaic Forest Management. Mosaic manages huge swaths of land on #VancouverIsland and tightly controls access to what one outdoor enthusiast called the most impressive and “jaw-dropping” parts of the Island. I was completely floored to learn that nearly 600,000 hectares of #unceded land on the Island is privately owned and is managed by a single company.

Hard to show the scale of this old growth beauty from this shot. It takes about 4 humans, holding hands, to hug the whole trunk of this ancient yellow cedar tree.

A colossal #ancient yellow #cedar #tree is part of the #Tlaoquiaht #FirstNations #TribalPark.
I hiked the big trees trails there - magnificent!
This #ancient yellow #cedar #tree is older than the Great Wall of China & older than the Vatican.
All #ElderTrees - of this colossal & majestic scale, must be preserved & their ecosystems protected.
A beautiful moss covered Western red #cedar #tree - still unprotected.
Only a human, with a compromised & unwell soul, would be OK killing an elder tree this magnificent. Some things are just plain wrong.
These ancient old growth trees are essential to fighting accelerated #ClimateChange. #OldGrowth ecosystems in our coastal temperate rainforests supports much biodiverse lifeforms. The naturally moist environment helps to lower impacts of wildfires & other natural disasters that have increased as our governments continue to fund & enable more ecocidal projects.
#FootpathFriday through the #forest 
Rugged hiking trail, winding through luscious coastal temperate rainforest.
territory.This beautiful, ancient yellow #cedar tree has a massive, moss covered trunk. It is estimated at over 500 years old. There are very few #ElderTrees of this scale found outside of protected parks on Southern Vancouver Island now. The few remaining unprotected old growth forest tracts should be conserved for stability & longevity of our wild, ancient ecosystems & for the future generations to enjoy/admire/study.
The need to protect old growth forests has been the case for decades but even more important in present times because of accelerated climate change & the increased greedy desperation of corporate ecociders & our governments who aid/abet the pillaging which destroys wild environments that are essential for humans to sustain our lives on Earth. Valuable medicines are found & several medicines have yet to be found in these old growth, coastal temperate, wild rainforests. We need to protect these ancient forests for the above listed & many more important reasons.
Our coastal temperate #rainforests on Vancouver Island are super lush with so much #biodiversity. They are worth conserving & protecting. These forests are also full of medicines, some yet to be discovered.
A magical tribute to Canada's #GnarliestTree - in #AvatarGrove in #PortRenfrew.

We fought hard to save the ancient trees & their life-sustaining wild ecosystems, to get Avatar Grove area protected & turned into a public park. It was previously on the corporate deforestation list prior to the hard grassroots fight to save this area of Port Renfrew, where old growth forests were rapidly dwindling due to colonial capitalist style of short-term greedy gains & putting nature last. Nature should be first.

This 2nd growth #DouglasFir #SnagTree is still standing after many wild Westcoast storms. Snag trees are essential for healthy #forest #ecosystems. They provide food, shelter/habitat for wildlife & their roots are still connected to family of forest trees, mutually aiding each other.
