This article shines light onto the widespread degenerative logging practices in Canada, focusing on the current status of the very last intact old growth temperate rainforest watershed on Earth.
Excellent work brother! Hurts my heart. I am so fortunate to have spent some time in some old growth forests in Oregon. I hope my 1 year old son will have a chance. Your work is valuable, keep it up!
Drax Power Station in Yorkshire, England, which used to burn locally mined coal, now (with all the coal mines long-since closed down) burns woodchips imported from North America as 'biomass'. A greenwash scam if ever there was one.
How painfully awful to read and learn. I can't imagine how much worse it is for you to document and write it. Thank you for bringing awareness to this terrible murder of some of the Earth's last living old growth forests.
Dear Gavin. I started reading this in the morning and had to close my laptop. I just came back to it and forced myself to read everything. My heart started hurting from the very first photograph because I knew what was coming. I know this must have been beyond painful for you to write.
When I drive just a couple of miles down the road from me and see the ongoing destruction (since last summer) of 200,000+ trees that were cut down by one powerful asshole in our little town who thought maybe he'd put a compost operation in there (it's zoned residential), I feel myself go from sorrow to rage in a matter of seconds. I moved to New Hampshire BECAUSE of the trees. This is the damage that one wealthy/connected man can do. What you're writing about is a whole new level of disgusting corporate greed. I went to the website of the paper company you mentioned. What a joke.
You are our neighbors to the North. The same thing goes on down here. As you say, the taxpayers are funding this. North America is a green gem that is being chipped away at, bit by bit. It’s soul-crushing. Thank you for doing the hard work of bringing all of this ugliness to light, Gavin. I’m going for a walk in the woods now to be with the trees. 💚
'Machines creating machines, creating machines' Absolutely horrendous! I am grateful for your in depth article but absolutely shocked, once again, that the powers that shouldn't be stoop so low or maybe that should be so deep, into destroying and monetising such pristine forests. I am saddened at the before and after pictures of the magnificent trees and the stumps left behind and reeling in disgust at the aiders and abetters, the police and military thugs, towards the defenders of the forests. I need to go out and hug my olive trees more often, I think, whilst they are still there.....

Thanks for sharing all of these resources Gavin. It seems overwhelming- but again raising awareness is always the first step. I'm in Ontario as well (niagara region). Musk must be shown to be a hypocrite - unfortunately so many of the younger generation, and many baby boomers as well, are falling for his "electricity to combat climate change." All of this clear-cutting I believe is paving the way for more computerization and the smart grid/smart cities. We must pray and meditate daily now.

This breaks my heart, and there are so many things going on that I'm glad you've done this post, to bring me back into a mindset that I visit, on a micro, micro-scale everyday, in the bits of tiny forests still alive in my home on Kitsap Peninsula, WA State, across the Puget Sound from Seattle.
I CAN'T STAND THIS. What can I do??
I want to do *something* -- I have very little money. I am pretty close to the Canadian border, but would they even let me in? What can I do??? I will share this post on my page, tomorrow, since it's getting late in the day now.
You might know about this, and I was SO excited to hear this from a Substacker, but I'm now wondering if I was so anxious to help the trees and plants around here (and in my house!) that maybe I am believing something absurd... Copper-- to mitigate all the EMF's that are harming trees and plants... I saw a video on a Substack page. I connected with a fellow who did forestry in CA-- he's concerned about copper "sticks" in the ground being lightening rods... There are areas that I feel ashamed of how little I know, Gavin! I'm hoping you'll be a resource, if you can... just a little bit if you're busy.
Specifically, what do you think about using copper wires, around a tree-trunk, or stuck into the ground near trees, to help them deal with all the EMF's? I am being very, very simplistic because I've only just discovered this fellow/idea, and I have yet to really delve into it... Have you heard of this?
I feel I "know" you a bit and you seem trustworthy... I only have seen one podcast with Matt, and so I thought maybe I should question this a bit... If he's right and telling the truth, it could mean a HUGE good thing for many many people, but it's a separate issue from clearcutting, and I'm interested in trying to do something about that, too... It's a holocaust. It pains my heart...
"Do not allow their badges and reassuring uniforms to confuse you, make no mistake, these are the foot soldiers and enforcement arm in a corporate war on nature. "... Can we just call them what they are?... That being "Jack-Booted Thugs"
Beautiful post, Gavin, horrifying topic. It makes me so sad but also hopeful that everything's falling apart so fast in other realms. It reminds me that nothing we've done has succeeded. Maybe there are forces working in our favor with the pandemic, Reset, etc that's going to stop this , so that stalling it is enough.
The same is happening south of the border:

And now we have this.
Please pardon the language. This subject gets me so fiiiiired up 😤😠😡🤬

There's a fellow named Matt Roeske. Here's one of his podcasts... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TswfC6phvr4

Okay, thanks, Gavin. xo
