Most of the tens of thousands of trees being removed are being removed unnecessarily.

The big risk is from the Park Board's current logging operation which is opening up the forest canopy exposing the understory to sun and wind. And older trees hold water and many are being removed unnecessarily.

Now if we could stop the logging in oh I don’t know maybe Stanley Park or old growth on the island that would be spectacular too! Yes, I want all the trees saved!

Logging for dams, logging for the COP30 meeting and logging to site wind turbines. It's all looking like just another way for them to make money.

Smaller, bladeless turbines seem like a much better idea.

Who will commit to keeping Stanley Park green and free from logging? Currently unnecessary logging of hemlocks is happening at a rapid pace, damaging the forest floor and increasing the risk of blow downs.

This is not surprising at all given the attacks on farmers and farming, solar panels covering farmland and farmers being paid not to farm.

I have posted a few then/now archive photos of Stanley Park but I encourage you to explore Stanley Park through an Indigenous lens with this app from Talaysay Tours.

Wind farms affect bats, birds and other wildlife but smaller, bladeless wind turbines away from protected areas might be a better alternative.

I love your posts. They make me smile. In part because of the lovely images but also because they remind me of my sister Jan (RIP 2023) who was a key campaigner in "Elders for Old Growth" in Canada where the paper companies cut down ancient forests. Here she is - a lover of trees, like me.

Why is the SPES supporting the Park Board's logging of Vancouver's Stanley Park? The defoliated hemlocks are not a falling risk unless they have rot and deteriorate vertically downwards. Some may regenerate but are logged before they have a chance and logging is causing blow down of other trees.

Beautiful!
Stanley Park is being logged by the Park Board and inconceivably with the support of Stanley Park Ecology Society. These defoliated hemlocks are not a falling risk unless they have rot and most are healthy. And the logging is causing blow down of healthy trees. It must stop.

Shocking that so few in the environmental movement seem to care about this issue.

Yes, some of them were but some may regenerate. They don't need to be cut down as they are not a danger as they deteriorate vertically downwards and are needed for many species including up to 8 species of bats, chickadees and other wildlife.
