Unsustainable net fisheries are the largest source of mortality for steelhead bound for the Skeena River - especially when those fish are released dead.

PSA: Old Growth Forests Are Not A Renewable Resource

Переглядів 889 місяців тому

One of the key lessons here, (and we really need to say this clearly), is that old growth forest is not a renewable resource. An old forest, or old growth, may only be a hundred year old forest, but it has structure, it has snags, it has coarse weed debris, it has places for the birds and the bats and all those things. When we remove those and clear cut harvest, all we have are individual trees...
