Ms. Que BanhDead <a href="https://beige.party/tags/trees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trees</a> are not wasted timber dollars - they are sources of food for literally thousands of beings in a <a href="https://beige.party/tags/forest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#forest</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ecosystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ecosystem</a>, from tiny microscopic beings to insectivorous birds. Standing dead trees are known as snags, while a fallen dead trees are nurse logs. A cut or natural stump can serve the same <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ecological" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ecological</a> function as a <a href="https://beige.party/tags/NurseStump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NurseStump</a>.Nature wastes nothing. If there is a nutrient source to be had, there is a being to benefit from it. Nurse logs, standing snags & nurse stumps play hosts to all sorts of mosses, lichens, fungi, insects & arthropods, many hidden deep inside, as well as other living beings that prey on them.Nurse <a href="https://beige.party/tags/stumps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stumps</a> are still deeply rooted; new plant, tree & fungi life grows out of their tops. Nurse stumps & dead stumps that have no new growth atop are like anchor systems for living trees growing in forests.

Ms. Que Banh"The increasing severity of <a href="https://beige.party/tags/wildfires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildfires</a> and <a href="https://beige.party/tags/drought" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#drought</a> highlights that reforming <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ForestStewardship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ForestStewardship</a> – taking better care of the forests, including safeguarding <a href="https://beige.party/tags/OldGrowthForests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OldGrowthForests</a> – is one of our best hopes to protect communities across B.C.Harmful <a href="https://beige.party/tags/forestry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#forestry</a> practices like <a href="https://beige.party/tags/clearcutting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#clearcutting</a> and <a href="https://beige.party/tags/unsustainable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#unsustainable</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/IndustrialLogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndustrialLogging</a> make extreme heat and wildfires worse. <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Clearcuts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Clearcuts</a> are <a href="https://beige.party/tags/tinderboxes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tinderboxes</a>, more prone to creating embers because dead trees and branches dry out in the hot sun and become more <a href="https://beige.party/tags/flammable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#flammable</a>. Tree plantations and improperly tended young forests also increase wildfire risk: Younger trees have thinner bark and low-hanging branches that can act as ladder fuels, and the trees are often planted too close together, making it easy for fire to spread.Fortunately, intact and properly managed <a href="https://beige.party/tags/forests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#forests</a> are more resilient to the worsening wildfires and heatwaves. For example, <a href="https://beige.party/tags/OldGrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OldGrowth</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/rainforests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rainforests</a> have dense canopies which provide cooling shade that resists fire. They are cooler and wetter than young forests, acting as giant sponges. Old-growth trees in the drier interior have thick bark, high branches and are widely spaced which all reduce <a href="https://beige.party/tags/WildfireRisk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WildfireRisk</a>.<a href="https://beige.party/tags/SierraClubBC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SierraClubBC</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/BCpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BCpoli</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/StopEcocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StopEcocide</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/BritishColumbia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BritishColumbia</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Environmental" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Environmental</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/SaveOldGrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SaveOldGrowth</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateCrisis</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/BCNDP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BCNDP</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/BanCorporateLobbyists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BanCorporateLobbyists</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Wildfires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wildfires</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/floods" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#floods</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ClimateEmergency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateEmergency</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/BCwildfires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BCwildfires</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/BCfloods" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BCfloods</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/NaturalDisasters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NaturalDisasters</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ClimateMitigation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateMitigation</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/StopDeforestation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StopDeforestation</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/JustStopOil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JustStopOil</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/DoTheRightThing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DoTheRightThing</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/OneEarth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OneEarth</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/BCForestryReform" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BCForestryReform</a>
