Resilience: A Buzzword or True Path to Prosperity? Every few years, we witness new vocabulary emerge into the BC forest sector’s world. The most recent term to emerge is resilience. At times, it is used in an almost mystical manner without any firm, specific definition or scope. Essentially, it becomes a holy grail without substance but with a professed nirvana by many speaking of it. The question is, will it become another passing buzzword, lead towards true, positive changes to advance our sector, or will it be a cloak for protectionism? Read in the article here: https://lnkd.in/ga8dyjmd #BCForestry #TruckLoggers #BCLoggers #BCLogging #BritishColumbia #Loggers #Logging #CanadianLoggers #CanadianLogging #LoggingLife #Forestry #Forest #ForestryWork #Sustainability #ForestryFeedsMyFamily #ForestryNews #ForestryEquipment #Trees #LoggerLife #Trees #Nature #BeautifulBC

Which direction will the future take us on resilient forests and health of the forest sector in BC? Hopefully more than a buzzword.

Please don't feel guilty. It's not a very helpful emotion. Feel responsible, but not for all the problems in the world. Feel responsible because you have the power to be the change, and not using this power is not taking up responsibility. You cannot imagine how powerful you are. There is so much potential in you alone. You wouldn't believe it, but it is true. That is what gives hope! If everyone would take up this responsibility just for one day even, most of the world's problems would be solved in a very short period of time. You can do it, go for it! #regenerative #landscapedesign #landscapearchitecture #agroecology #regenerativefarming #agroforestry #farming #tuin #tuinarchitectuur #permaculture #voedselbos #nature

Response-ability, indeed 🙏 If everyone takes #care of themselves and their neighbor, everyone is taken care of. Thank you for sharing this beautiful reminder on #sustainability, Louis De Jaeger! 🙌🏻 Concepts like #circulareconomy, #sharingeconomy, preservation of #biodiversity and many others, can help us get there.

🌳 Trees are a testament to nature’s ability to renew and sustain. Responsibly harvested from well-managed forests, hardwoods are not only durable and versatile but also a renewable resource that supports a healthier planet. Unlike synthetic alternatives and other finite materials, hardwoods naturally regenerate, and with sustainable forestry practices, growth consistently outpaces harvests. Choosing hardwoods means investing in a material that embodies sustainability—capturing carbon, enriching ecosystems, and providing a renewable resource that stands the test of time. It’s the perfect balance of beauty, functionality, and environmental responsibility.

A somewhat theoretical example of how to report landscape-scale #ForestDegradation under #EUDR. Track quantifiable forest degradation indicators for given landscape units (hexagons in this case) across forested landscapes of #BritishColumbia. 🌲 Low risk of forest degradation (green) shows stable to positive trends in all three indicators. 🔶 Medium risk (orange) shows negative trends in multiple indicators but this degradation is largely driven by large wildfires in 2021 and 2022 (see EUDR FAQ 4.7). 🔴 High risk (red) sees a decline in all indicators which appears to be driven by forest harvesting (dark green bars in the chart). *Note that this was likely due to pine beetle salvage and thus would have justification under EUDR. #forestry #GoogleEarthEngine

Forests help protect our environment by preventing soil erosion. The intricate root systems of trees help stabilize the soil, reducing the risk of landslides and maintaining fertile land. Investing in forest restoration and conservation is investing in our planet's future. At Spades, we know the #PowerOfTrees. https://spades.life/ #Sustainability #Forestry #ErosionControl

What Happens to Our Hazard Trees? 🌲 Eco-Friendly Solutions Explained! Ever wondered what we do with hazard trees after we fell them? 🤔 In this video, we break down the different ways we manage these trees: from leaving them to create habitat 🌱, to chipping, burning, or even repurposing them for lumber or firewood. Learn how these methods not only ensure safety but also support the local ecosystem. Watch to discover why leaving logs on the ground can be one of the best choices! 🌳🔥#HazardTrees #SustainableForestry #WildlifeHabitat  #HazardTrees #SustainableForestry #WildlifeHabitat #TreeManagement #EcoFriendly #ForestConservation #Firewood #LumberRecycling #ChippingAndBurning #EcosystemRestoration #NatureLovers #EnvironmentalStewardship
