“Profit… it’s not the top priority. Our top priority is to manage the forest in a way we can make it more resilient and healthier than it is today.”

Windspeaker.comDocumentary tells the story of a forestry company looking forward seven generations to manage landsOfficials with an Indigenous-owned forestry company in British Columbia insist they are not tooting their own horn. But when an opportunity presented itself for Ntityix Resources, owned by Westbank First Nation, to get its story out via a documentary, they jumped at the opportunity. The result is a 22-minute film released earlier this month and now being shared on social media platforms. The film, titled tmixʷ: A Holistic Commitment to Our Forests, delves into Ntityix Resources’ approach to sustainable forest management.

Study finds DDT is still present in toxic levels in New Brunswick.

Aerial spraying has no place in forestry. All of New Brunswick's forests were sprayed with DDT in the 50's and 60's.

This is what happens when a government is preoccupied with corporate profit, and not preoccupied with the wellbeing of its people.

“Nearly 2m hectares of #forests suitable for endangered koalas have been destroyed since the iconic species was declared a #ThreatenedSpecies in 2011, according to analysis for Guardian Australia.

The scale of #habitat #destruction in #Queensland and #NewSouthWales – states in which the koala is formally recognised as being at risk of #extinction – has continued despite political promises it would be protected.

Analysis by the #AustralianConservationFoundation using state and federal government #data found 1,964,200 hectares of #koala habitat were cleared between 2012 and 2021, the latest year for which there was complete data.

The total amount of destroyed forest and bush covered an area larger than greater Sydney, taking in the #BlueMountains, the #Illawarra, the southern highlands and the #Goulburn and #Shoalhaven regions.

It is more than 10 times larger than the area the #NSW government is assessing for a possible “great koala national park”. But most of the cleared area – 81% – was in Queensland.

About three-quarters of the lost forest is estimated to have been cleared for agriculture, to create #cattle pasture and #crop fields. The analysis found 13% was removed by the #forestry industry and 5% for development of infrastructure, including #mining. Just 4% was likely due to natural causes, such as bushfire and drought.”

There’s a reason the Minister for the Environment has been kept quiet.

Discover the Forestry merit badge! 🌲 Scouts engage with trees, forests, and conservation, developing skills in tree identification, habitat observation, and forest health awareness. Activities include collecting wood samples, identifying insect or disease damage, and exploring forestry careers through forest visits. These resources aid completion. Let's build skills, promote environmental care, and connect with nature! 🌳 #Forestry #Scouting #Conservation #NatureSkills scoutermom.com/25219/forestry-

Scouter Mom · Forestry Merit Badge for 2025: Free Resources and AnswersScouts learn to identify trees while working on the Forestry merit badge. They find out why forests are important to our economy, climate, wildlife habitats, and endangered species. Scouts investigate how forests are managed and how trees are harvested. They also identify trees which are unhealthy or hazardous.

I know Jess Teesdale and she is a lovely person. I hope that the world of Party Politics doesn't tarnish her too much. But this is an ominous start. Good on her for being against native logging in her heart.
