New Images of Massive Trees and Giant Stumps on Google Earth
/in AnnouncementsNew Images of Massive Trees and Giant Stumps on Google Earth
Ancient forest campaigner and photographer TJ Watt has been steadily uploading new shots of BC’s biggest trees and most massive stumps to Google Earth, a popular global satellite-imaging program. This allows users around the world to view ancient forest photographs on both Google Earth and Google Maps.
Many of the areas the Ancient Forest Alliance (AFA) documents on Vancouver Island are quite remote; by tagging photos and providing GPS coordinates on Google Earth, the AFA is able make these magnificent, remote ecosystems accessible to viewers all over the world.
To view TJ’s images, visit the link to the Panoramio galley at: https://www.panoramio.com/user/3576104
To see them mapped visit: https://www.panoramio.com/map/?user=3576104
Keep visiting the image gallery! Great new photos will be added regularly.
Also, for those interested in doing some research of their own, Google Earth is a great way to familiarise yourself with BC’s landscape and to see what is truly happening down BC’s backroads. For a free download of the Google Earth program visit: https://earth.google.com/
Organise a Fundraiser for the Ancient Forest Alliance
/in Take ActionOrganise a Fundraiser for the Ancient Forest Alliance
The ides of July has arrived and we are just two weeks away from our $30,000 July 31 fundraising deadline. The recent slew of highly successful community-organised benefits events has gone a long way toward our target, and it would be wonderful to maintain this level of momentum.
The Ancient Forest Alliance is working to build the strongest campaign on just a fraction of the funds typically used by the larger environmental groups. YOU can help us do exactly that by hosting a fundraiser for us!
Organise a simple fundraiser for us. This could include:
– Holding a yard sale/ garage sale.
– Selling your unneeded items on E-Bay or Craigslist and donating us the proceeds.
– Holding a benefit house party for us (charge a fee or by donation…)
To find out more, e-mail us at: info@ancientforestalliance.org
