Great news! On Wednesday, March 12, the Ahousaht and the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation in Clayoquot Sound off western Vancouver Island announced their proposal for a network of protected conservancies, which would include major tracts of some of the finest old-growth forests in BC, combined with a vision to enhance economic opportunities for their communities.
Congratulations to the amazing Ahousaht and Tla-o-qui-aht leadership for their work over the years and for seeing their visions reach this milestone!

AFA’s TJ Watt Presents at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC

/in ,

AFA 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.
