Instagram post 2200334916301260069_351128482 Kick starting the week with a presentation to the Province’s panel working on reviewing old growth logging policies. 🌲🌲🌲 We talked about what we loose when we log old and ancient forests and alternatives which could bring far greater opportunities for BC and communities. #standupforwhatyoustandon #saveoldgrowthforests
Instagram post 2196106426852975236_351128482 Pretty excited for Whistler’s valley trees to start looking like this again! . Did you know that according to Environment Canada two mature trees can provide enough oxygen for a family of four. Now that’s pretty cool! ❄️🌲 . #awarewhistler #mywhistler #littlethingswhistler #getstoked #winterwonderland #beautifulbc #pnw #explore #outsideisbetter #letitsnow
