One common feature of old-growth forests is the presence of many old trees—but how do we measure the age of the trees in these forests? You might know that after a tree has been cut down, you can count the rings on the stump to tell the tree’s age. Researchers can also learn the age of a tree while it’s still living by taking a core sample. This process involves removing a thin cylinder of wood from inside the tree trunk that shows the rings. The earliest growth is at the center, and each year a

Old-growth forests are known for having a forest floor that dips and rises, a characteristic called pit and mound topography. When a large tree falls, part of the roots and attached soil may be lifted out of the ground, leaving behind a pit where the roots were. As the uplifted roots decay, they form a mound next to the pit. Although trees fall and decay in all forests, it can take centuries for pit and mound topography to form across a large area, making it a common feature of old-growth forest

Shocking drone footage reveals the brutal impacts of old-growth logging in British Columbia, Canada. Scores of ancient cedars, some nearly 10 feet (3 meters) wide and many well over 500 years old, would have been alive and standing just before we arrived that day. However, in 2022, Western Forest Products clearcut 25 hectares (roughly 50 football fields) from an incredible old-growth grove on northwestern Vancouver Island, BC in Quatsino territory.

Video footage captured by AFA’s TJ Watt & Ian Thomas in the summer of 2023 reveals the active destruction of rare, “big-tree” old-growth forests missed for deferral on northern Vancouver Island in Quatsino territory. Western Forest Products has approval to cut 36.5 hectares (roughly 68 football fields) of endangered old-growth in this block alone. Home to scores of giant trees, some of which were more than 10 ft (3 m) wide and likely 500 years old, this particular grove — and many others like it

Protect the last remaining old growth forests 🌲💚. They are irreplaceable ecosystems that store carbon, regulate water, and support incredible biodiversity. Many species depend on old-growth including the threatened Marbled Murrelet and Northern Goshawk, and the nearly extirpated Northern Spotted Owl. When old-growth disappears, species that rely on it disappear too. Help protect old-growth by supporting nonprofits working on the ground and in policy reform: @ancientforestalliance @sierraclubbc

Many species, like old man’s beard, depend on ancient trees and stable, humid canopy conditions found only in old-growth.

Fallen trees and branches—also known as coarse woody debris—play an important role in forest ecosystems. Decaying wood provides habitat for wildlife and insects and recycles nutrients into the soil, helping new plants grow. Old-growth forests typically have more coarse woody debris than other forest types. DEC is partnering with the New York Natural Heritage Program to conduct a five-year study of old-growth forests in New York’s Forest Preserve. In summer 2024, a team of researchers visited old

Old forests are critically important for slowing climate change and merit immediate protection from logging

Mature and old-growth forests are a vital part of a healthy planet. And for the first time ever, the U.S. Forest Service is asking the public to weigh in on their management plan to protect old growth. The current proposal falls way short, containing loopholes that will allow old-growth trees to be sent to the mill — and it doesn’t safeguard the mature trees we’ll need as our climate champions in the future. We have a chance, right now, to save what’s left. Please join us in telling the U.S. For

What’s an “old-growth tree?” No such thing. When people are trying to advocate for forests, they use this language — “protect old-growth trees” constantly. And not only is it incorrect terminology, it also completely misunderstands what we’re trying to protect — literally missing the forest for the trees! #tree #trees #treesofinstagram #forest #forests #nature #plant #plants #plantsofinstagram #plantstagram #ecology #outdoor #outdoors #woods #ecosystem #stem #forester #oldgrowth #life #love | Et

In Oregon, the Trump administration is chucking a Hail Mary attempt to bring back old-growth logging and forest management practices of yesteryear by opening up 2 million acres of public lands, including some of the last fragments of the old-growth forest left in the United States, to be clearcut logged and destroyed. Historical clearcutting decimated the mature, complex, old-growth stands of forest that once blanketed the state, and regulations since have worked to protect the last of those com
