- Joan Maloof has likely been to more old-growth forests across the US than anyone alive today. She was so inspired by what she saw in these forests that she founded a national organization to preserve them and help make them accessible for the next generation. From the towering Redwoods of the Oregon and California Coast to the Cypress groves of Florida and the oak forests of New England, Joan will take you on a journey through the incredible differences and striking similarities of the country's remaining ancient forests. We learn what makes the ancient forests so special, where they are located in Oregon, and how you can help the Old-Growth Forest Network grow.
We also hear from Lauren Anderson about Oregon Wild's forest climate campaign and efforts to protect old-growth forests across the Pacific Northwest.
Wonderful indigenous acknowledgment
Alright, more content! I was watching the live stream last night but got disconnected, I knew the upload would show up soon!
Thank you for everything you folks do. I promise once I get some money I will be donating after seeing a bunch of the stuff you folks do.
Thank you again, from some random person.
It's sad that Oregon Wild made an outrageous deal with big timber in February 2020 to sell out forest protection on Oregon's corporate timberlands. The "Private Forest Accord" even had your group plus a dozen other "collaborators" say that aerial spraying of herbicides was acceptable to continue over corporate clearcuts. OW's rural employee in the Coast Range quit in disgust when he saw what his employers had done. Oregon Wild's predecessor group, Oregon Natural Resources Committee, did great work calling attention to deforestation, but the Private Forest Accord was outrageous capitulation. Oregon Wild and their collaborators did not see fit to include any downwinders (who gets involuntarily sprayed) to join their negotiations with Weyerhauser, Roseburg Forest Products, et al. Activist malpractice.
Lotta ferns in them old growth forest
It's sad that not many people under the age 30 actually do anything to help forest or honesty anything thing that really helps the real world at least in the area where I'm from. I'm in my late 20s and have been planting trees on my own time for the last 10 years and i can say basically no one close to my age especially those younger than me even know what and old growth forest is, nor do they really care to go out in the forest and i live near Seattle so you would think it would be different. Not sure what the solution is because a lot of stereotypes about millennials and gen z appear to be pretty true like their main and only goal is to pursue their own personal pursuit of pleasure and dont seem to care or really want to figure anything out in the real world they just like to think that its a good idea but wont actually go out and do something that seriously matters. id like to be proven wrong, but we will just have to see...
look at us we are so cool we protected the red wood forests! How much of you ask? 5% ooooooooooofff! Imagine you could only save 5% of your house.
If trump comes around, the only forests that will be protected are the ones unknown to him
