Thank you for helping us surpass our 14th birthday goal!
/in Announcements, Thank YouAFA recently celebrated our 14th birthday on February 24th, marking the occasion by asking you to donate just $14 to continue protecting the magnificent old-growth forests of BC.
Well, not only did you rise to the task by helping us reach our goal of $14,000 in less than two weeks, but you surpassed it by $2,400!
Altogether, we raised $16,427 for the old-growth campaign. That’s a lot of $14 donations! You even had fun with it, with some folks donating multiples of 14, some $140, some even $1,400!
We are eternally grateful, and truly believe we have the best supporters and community out there. Here’s to continuing that passion, dedication, and generosity toward the ancient forests of BC for many years to come!
For the forests,
—The Ancient Forest Alliance

/in AnnouncementsAFA’s TJ Watt Presents at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC
/in Announcements, Thank YouAFA Photographer and Campaigner TJ Watt just returned from Washington, DC, where he presented at the Kennedy Center on “The Search for the World’s Biggest Trees”! The presentation, which included the film “The Giant Treehunters“, was part of REACH to FOREST, a two-week event blending art, science, and culture in the nation’s capital. Famed forest ecologist Andy MacKinnon also presented as part of the Big Tree Hunters Party. MacKinnon is the co-author of the best-selling book, Plants of Coastal BC.
It was a fun-filled evening with lots of great Q&A!
We extend a sincere thank-you to the festival organizers for having us and helping raise international awareness on the importance of protecting old-growth forests and big trees in BC.
