The forest was resisting our intrusion. After an hour or so of hardcore bushwhacking, we finally spotted a more accessible area that we could use as a pathway to the top of the hill. We noted its location and planned to return in a couple weekends to continue our inspection. <a href="https://www.kuchijewels.com/product-category/kuchi-tribal-jewellery/dress-necklines-patches-accessories/" rel="nofollow">gold necklace usa</a> , <a href="https://www.kuchijewels.com/product-category/kuchi-tribal-jewellery/dress-necklines-patches-accessories/" rel="nofollow">gold necklace wholesale france</a> , baby bath towels online pakistanhttp://www.thecollectionmarts.com/product-category/towels/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662185992354207667.post-73982889001076411112020-10-13T01:16:40.765-07:002020-10-13T01:16:40.765-07:00yeezy wave runner 700

Even for the greedy, wouldnt the sound of perpetual profit{eco tourism of the last virgin forest} sound better than a one time profit from a foolish clear cut that destroys an irreplacable example of creation that took millenia to manifest lost to all generations forever. So why not advertise to intelligent eco minded entities to purchase the remaining virgin forest and secure a perpetual revenue {eco tourism} while preserving the best examples of life in its original natural state{our source} for future generations.Its a win win for the greedy and the green.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662185992354207667.post-77871909785482850082010-09-23T11:42:58.516-07:002010-09-23T11:42:58.516-07:00What Avatar grove is going through, is what the El...What Avatar grove is going through, is what the Elk Creek old growth forest went through not long ago. It was one of the last stands of ancient trees in the Fraser Valley, just south east of Chilliwack. We tried everything to save it. but alas, it was helli-logged and though some of the ancient trees were left, they couldn't survive standing alone. It is truly heartbreaking to see such destruction.Maureen Raymond,ambassador/Naturescape B.C.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662185992354207667.post-7843420735504389402010-08-05T09:52:08.677-07:002010-08-05T09:52:08.677-07:00Re Anonymous's comment "If I'm right ...Re Anonymous's comment "If I'm right in the map and area then there is a salmon river nearby. Can we appeal to fisheries to protect the area? " --<br /><br />I have forwarded your question to Zoe Blunt from the Forest Action Network and here is her response:<br /><br />"Baird Creek is too steep to support salmon and steelhead, but Gordon River has both. [Note: those are the two rivers at the Avatar Grove]. Can we appeal to Fisheries Canada? Yes and no. They won't interfere with logging as long as there is a buffer zone left unlogged on the fish-bearing streams. Above the Avatar Grove, Baird Creek has been logged to its banks and erosion has washed the soil away, leaving bare rock. The question of clearcuts harming water quality has been argued in BC Supreme Court several times, but the judges have accepted the loggers' arguments that there is no evidence clearcutting damages water quality. If this seems contrary to common sense, that's because it is.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Zoe"Ivan Doumenchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10567808421635209642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662185992354207667.post-79545152108204223012010-08-05T07:08:20.744-07:002010-08-05T07:08:20.744-07:00Thanks Ivan for bringing this to our attention. T...Thanks Ivan for bringing this to our attention. The value of old forest growth is unmeasurable. The problem we face is that some people only see the wood and not the trees or the ecosystems. The biodiversity of an old growth forest is what protects the rain forest from monocropping which is the means by which forest companies grow trees in large wood lots. Monocropping is a known problem in agriculture. Preserving old growth means we avoid monocropping and keep biodiversity. If I'm right in the map and area then there is a salmon river nearby.
