Ancient Forest Alliance: Best of 2025!
/in AnnouncementsAs we wrap up Ancient Forest Alliance’s 15th year working to protect endangered old-growth forests in BC, we’re sharing some highlights from the year — the top stories, photos, and moments that shaped our work.
Haida Gwaii Photos: Yakoun River Old-Growth Forests
/in Photo GalleryAncient Forest Alliance photographer TJ Watt travelled to Haida Gwaii this fall as part of his work as a National Geographic Explorer, supported by the Trebek Initiative. There, he had a chance to explore some of the spectacular old-growth forests along the Yakoun River, one of the most productive river systems on Haida Gwaii.
In one unique area, TJ came across an old-growth Sitka spruce meadow that felt like entering a vast golden hall, where giant trees rose like ancient pillars above grassy glades. Hundreds of massive, moss-cloaked trunks glowed in every direction. It was one of the most beautiful sights he’d ever seen!
See incredible photos of the spruce meadow and other remarkable groves along the Yakoun in the gallery below.
Help AFA raise $250,000 by December 31st – we’re over halfway there!
