Last week I took The Weather Network out to Port Renfrew to chat about old-growth conservation at Big Lonely Doug and the Eden Grove. See the video here: https://www.theweathernetwork.com/ca/videos/gallery/meet-big-lonely-doug-and-the-many-other-historic-trees-that-need-saving-in-bc/

Golden hour at Big Lonely Doug
Big Lonely Doug featured in The Guardian
Pretty amazed! The Guardian has published an excerpt from author Harley Rustad's book Big Lonely Doug as well as some of my photographs 🌲 BLD has become a symbol for both the grandeur and destruction of BC's old-growth forests. His message is reaching audiences around the world but as old-growth trees once again roll past him on the backs of logging trucks, will the BC NDP actually listen and finally protect these endangered ancient forests?

Reader's Digest: The Loneliest Tree In Canada
Standing in line at the grocery store or waiting at the doctor's office, I never guessed that one of my photos would end up in a Reader's Digest, but this shot of Matthew Beatty climbing Big Lonely Doug is featured in the latest issue with a story by Harley Rustad. I wonder if Doug knows just how famous he's become?
New Documentary: "No Degree of Scarcity"
in Video, Press, Published and News, Logging, Forests, Exploration, Drone
In his new 8-minute documentary titled No Degree of Scarcity, renowned US filmmaker Joe Callander highlights Big Lonely Doug and old-growth logging on Vancouver Island. Joe came to the island for a brief stint and followed myself and Ken Wu of the Ancient Forest Alliance through the clearcut around Big Lonely Doug by Edinburgh Mountain and to the Walbran Valley. He also spoke with Port Renfrew Chamber of Commerce president Dan Hager about old-growth forests and the local economy. The video includes some of my photography and drone footage as well. Thanks to Joe for taking the time to cover this story. You can see more of his films here.
