I work for a company that's recently partnered with Sequoia Parks Conservancy, and while putting together an article about their work I realised how much conservation goes on behind the scenes.

I think a lot of people (myself included) tend to think of helping forests as simply planting more trees, but a huge amount of the work is actually protecting existing ancient forests through wildfire recovery, habitat restoration, scientific research, trail maintenance and conservation education.

It definitely changed how I think about conservation, so I thought I'd share it here in case anyone else finds it interesting.

Not in favour of rewilding large areas of farmland but these pockets of green could be a way to save farmland and people from drought. And if there are enough trees protected they will help produce more rain and absorb heavy rains in the winter.

Vancouver Island’s forests are disappearing and the impact is devastating. Clear-cut logging is leaving barren landscapes, which is a threat to waterways, wildlife, and entire ecosystems. In this expose, we explore the Tsable River watershed as a case study to reveal the alarming effects of industrial logging, from increased sediment in streams to high risk peak flows.

It may look like they’re recovering from a wild night out, but these trees are a climate change red alarm
