'On a forest scale, salvage logging is the most destructive form of logging, worse than high-intensity clearfelling. Logging soon after a natural disturbance makes recovery harder, such as by badly damaging soils for many decades.' theconversation.com/has-logging-re…

The forests and fields cannot be air conditioned.

Another paper demonstrating what we already know -- tree plantations are not forests, and cannot provide the same ecological functions or values as primary forests. But hey, go ahead -- plant a tree 🙃

We are destroying our only home.

Spotlight on #BlackBackedWoodpecker : deserves #ESA protection. Uniquely adapted to unlogged, postfire forests, it's crucial we advocate for its survival. Help us fight for safeguards to protect both the bird & the ecosystems.

We're taking the USDA Forest Service to court with the expert help of Vermont Law and Graduate School to protect public lands and waters from destructive logging. Read on... #climateforests #worthmorestanding #stopthechop standingtrees.org/post/release-f…

Kids definitely know my taste in #books . Glad there are still enough used bookstores in town to feed my habit. #read #nature #MothersDay

Disgusting. Blatant propagandizing, fear-mongering, greenwashed nonsense. Apparently this is the stage where we give obvious logging access roads a cute name to hide the destruction of the #forest habitat. #Ecosystem #greenwashing #StopTheChop Lake Tahoe USFS are #ClimateCriminals

Our tax dollars at work; destroying #forests and putting communities at even more risk from #wildfire . This so-called “thinning” must 🛑. Does this look like “forest health” to you? We need #Firewise and climate-hardened infrastructure, not logging. #LakeTahoe #ClimateCriminals

Melissa Soderston KS Wild BLM Oregon & Washington Yeah. If they do leave it, it ends up being used as a logging anchor & gets damaged anyways like this one on a BLM timber sale

The new Apple iPad ad is unintentionally honest. Substitute ecosystems and species for the yellow smiley toys and this ad basically nails it. All technology is just more efficient ways to turn the living into the dead, crushing the life out of all of us.

Ok, I might actually need some new bookshelves. This is like 1/8th of the total. Or maybe I just have a problem. #books #read

Climate friendly beef would be a dead cow feeding vultures, and carrion beetles working away decomposing the remains that then foster wildflowers/sagebrush/pinyon-juniper forest. But somehow I don’t think this is what USDA redacted.
