Saving forests starts here – Herb Hammond, Forest Ecologist’s lessons (Power of Forests Series #3)

From our colleagues at the Boundary Forest Watershed Stewardship Society comes another in their Power of Forests lecture series, see below.

Hello Forest Supporters,

Forests are the heartbeat of our planet—keeping our water clean, our climate stable, and our communities strong. But in BC, clearcut logging is unraveling these lifelines.

In a powerful talk, renowned forest ecologist Herb Hammond reveals:

• How clearcutting disrupts water cycles, forest succession, and carbon regulation.
• Why forests need centuries, not decades, to recover.
• A bold vision for protecting forests through respect, reciprocity, and law.

This isn’t just about saving trees—it’s about saving our future. Watch, learn, and let’s create a better path forward.

Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Jennifer

P.S.  In a few days, we’ll release an updated Policy Brief for you to take to your MLA and local politicians to call for new forestry legislation.  Stay tuned!
