Old growth trees being transported on #bchwy19 near #Nanaimo this morning.
I would guess this is just one tree, likely transported by several truck loads. Looks like a western red cedar, about 200-300 years old.
They are still logging these in previously reserved areas along the Alberni Inlet (Nahmint) and on the North Island. 😢
These were in 8-10ft chunks on the truck. Not sure what their destination would be. Possibly chipoing for pulp/paper or 🤷‍♂️
A total open fire ban starts today which usually means the forests shut down.
Not sure if that is the case, as the fire danger is not extreme but any reason to stop cutting these elders would be worth it.

And they are STILL doing this shit with the blessing of governments. Including the B.C. and Canadian governments with Kitimat’s LNG Canada plant admitting to releasing 141 cubic metres of gas PER MINUTE, compared to their permitted 7.4 cubic metres per minute.
Tell me I’m wrong: the oil and gas industry are the worst thing to happen to this planet and humanity, ever.
