Humboldt stood between greed and the redwoods 🌲 and never stepped back. Earth First! chained their bodies to the truth that some things cannot be sold. The forests lived because the people refused to kneel. October 18 they rise again for the living earth.

Last week, Nova Scotia passed Bill 127, criminalizing Mi'kmaw protestors on Hunters Mountain who want to defend the land from clearcutting. And have a right to. Truth and Reconciliation means nothing to these people. www.saltwire.com/cape-breton/...

As people continue to hope for the creation of the proposed Ingram River wilderness area, they are growing concerns about clearcuts being approved within the 11,000 hectares of Crown land.

saying "druids aren't weirdo anticivs, they're just in touch with nature" is a manchurian candidate trigger phrase that turns them into a 19th century british industrialist who only finds joy in clearcutting forests and it's funny every time

Mi’kmaw land protectors on Hunter’s Mountain in Cape Breton, Unama’ki, are determined to stop clearcutting & destruction of moose habitat on unceded Mi’kmaw lands. They say they’re not moving, even tho N.S. Premier Tim Houston’s govt has passed a law to criminalize such encampments on Crown land.

Further, says Houston, we will pass legislation that criminalizes anyone who tries to protect the forest and obstructs clearcutting on Crown land … and maybe fine them $50,000 and put them in prison. We will call that the “Protecting Nova Scotians Act,” says NS Premier Tim Orwell Houston.

The Chiefs concluded with a warning that while they continue to push to meet with Houston, they will “also be looking into all possible legal remedies and mechanisms that can be taken to ensure they c...

Ecocide on a vast scale is rampant throughout the Pacific NW; after clearcutting vast areas of land, herbicide is applied to wipe out native vegetation, followed by fertilizer which poisons wildlife from fish to frogs to elk & moose.
This nightmare is what timber shills call "working forests".

Have you heard about the situation at Hunters Mountain in Nova Scotia? The provincial government is trying desperately to stop Mi'kmaq protesters who are trying to stop clearcutting and mining on their hunting territory to save the moose population.

Clearcutting diverse forests and replacing them with monocultures harms wildlife. Forests are complex networks of many parts working together to build a thriving ecosystem. Once they’ve been clearcut they’re never the same and wildlife like moose suffer.

No jurisdiction that still allows clearcutting of its last 1000 year-old trees will have a forest sector that is resilient, innovative or sustainable.

It sounds like 102 might not even get a vote so I made my text about blocking/delaying/increasing cost of housing in Seattle means clearcutting outside Seattle. And also that we have so much public right of way that could be trees. What I prefaced that action with in images.

Extreme tree protection rules in Seattle by necessity means supporting the clearcutting of whole forests in the outlying areas of the Puget Sound region.
Worth noting: A lot of the amendments people are talking about today would effectively prohibit density by imposing extreme tree preservation requirements. More detail here: publicola.com/2025/08/07/c...

Want to save Seattle’s trees? Then legalize apartments so we stop clearcutting the rest of Western Washington for sprawl. 80 years of that sprawl helped trigger a climate crisis that is killing Seattle’s trees with heat and drought.
sprawl makes up the majority of the land within the urban growth area covered by the growth management act.
and yes, failing to densify seattle leads to loss of tree canopy in king county.

Here is a true Nova Scotia story: Big pulp and industrial forestry interests, big mill owners, are handed enormous amounts of what is called “Crown” land to “manage,” and much means clearcutting the shit out of giant swaths of publicly owned N.S. forested land, on unceded First Nations territory.

In Trump's first term he launched an incoherent and aimless trade war with China, who responded by cancelling huge planned imports from American farms, and worked to diversify their imports by clearcutting the Amazon to build new soya farms: long-term damage both to the planet and American farmers.

Then, you get gangrene.
Don't forget about landslides that are common after massive wildfires or clearcutting operations.
And the danger for everyone that resides below said landslides.
One good rain, and all that topsoil stars to move.

And killing of wildlife with all of this clearcutting? There's a lot of this going on in my area and the number of roadkill on the adjoining highway is sickening.

There was a EO that reduces restrictions on cutting trees in National Parks. There are tons of legal hurdles to overcome before it goes into effect.
It is concerning.
But it is also disingenuous to portray it as clearcutting.
It's bothersome that we adopt MAGA tactics to make otherwise valid points.
