One of the most significant environmental impacts after logging you never heard of:

"Brushing" the deciduous back to 1984.

Brushing is a nice innocuous word for when you heli-spray glyphosate or cut down the fire-resistant aspen, cottonwood, birch, adler, etc. If it doesn't have a needle on it, get rid of it. Leaves? Hate em'. This isn't some isolated practice. This is the core of modern reforestation policy. And it's not just the removal. Our leaders brag about other strategies to out-compete deciduous: @DonaldsonDoug:

People keep saying we need to wait for more studies on the impact of #glyphosate on interior forests. But the results are in and have been for decades.

These two blocks are right next to each other KM 16.5 on the Grizzly FSR due south of Eulatazela Lake.

1/n The 1972 block (not 1974) is full of aspen patches, spruce, pine, subalpine fir, cottonwood and birch. It is fire-resistant, is full of biodiversity, evidence of moose, many birds, rich herb layer on forest floor. It is sequestering more carbon and has higher albedo

Not seeing much activity on the Fort Nelson Tenure Transfer, recently covered by @writermjs in @thenarwhalca and by @BenParfittCCPA.

I will attempt a thread to explain the danger in what is happening to public ownership of our forests and will post the link to comment.

1/n Our forests are for the most part publicly owned. But corporations like Canfor have tenures to them. They never paid for these tenures. The deal was they would build mills and employ people and support communities. This was never legislated, but it was the understanding

Not sure how many people have an eye for this but this photo by @photogGarth in today’s @thenarwhalca story on Ft. Nelson tenure sale shows what is very likely a couple glyphosate sprayed blocks right on a river, probably the Liard.

No aspen in here. Spruce monocrops. Spray job And the small strips of residual aspen are in a line, indicating the helicopter flight path when they sprayed #glyphosate.

You may say, jeez kind of close to the river. Legally they only have to stay away 10 meters and it is self regulated. I.e not at all.
