Thank you for the directions We really need less English ivy

I love it It looks amazing

Awesome work man

Those vine maples in the background are beautiful one of my favorite PNW understory trees

It's so great to see what good forest management can do even in areas that were clear cut.

Badass redwoods just out there seeding clouds for the entire ecosystem

We are hypocrites.

what about oil?

It's so cool to see the difference between amono culture forest vs a restored diverse forest

Thanks a lot for the good video. Over here in Germany much of the original natural habitats have unfortunately already been destroyed by overfarming and monocultures. This has lead to problems with droughts and monoculture forests being destroyed by bugs. This shows that our system isnt meant to stay. Bioregionalism and more Localism in general would really be the solution. Thanks for advocating for that man. Greetings🫡

nice dood

Great vid

you are awesome friend, thank-you. (I'd still like to pay for a tour if you're ever in Vancouver, BC!)

I wish you could talk a bit slower😅 English isn’t not my first language.. other than that great video👍

I'm a bird guy. Live in sw WA. I can hear a Swainson's thrush doing his thing in the background. Cool vid

Super informative! I love that you took the time to admire the natural beauty and complexity of the ivy before offing it, so many times people tend to see invasive species as "evil plants" when they're just doing their natural cycles in the completely wrong place. Love what you're doing, keep it up ❤

I don't get it either, but thanks for the trying to inform.

Please run for the Greens nationally!💚

Aww Ross we love you❤

If you didn’t move your hands around I would have kept thinking you voiced over- narrated . Well done video. Good night John Boy

It is unfortunate that not a single old tree is shown in the first part, which is supposed to illustrate what an old growth understory looks like. But most importantly, trying to generalize what an old-growth forest understory should look like is a sketchy endeavour. Forest floor topography and vegetation strongly depend on many other factors than tree age (tree species, site elevation, cumulative precipitation, slope aspect, etc.) which implies that there is no such thing as a representative "average" old-growth forest landscape.

“Life on life on life” we love it

goat grazing mimics nature and is z a better option to minimize fire hazard

This was so wonderful ❤😂

Hey Ross, Great video! I was curious about where you read that yellow-cedar decline is present in southern B.C. To my knowledge, the furthest south that yellow-cedar decline has been documented is the central coast of B.C., around Bella Coola. I'd be very interested in any information about decline occurring in southern B.C., as my PhD work focuses on this subject. Thanks!

I also love ferns There are really weird ferns here in Malaysia that form these weird vine like structures that I really only see growing outside my house

I learned so much, thank you

Thanks for all your videos friend. Are you ever in Vancouver, BC? What would you charge an individual for a couple of hours of local tree identification?

You are absolutely correct! I know what you are talking about. My family is suffering because of Canadian Corruption.

We don't live in a capitalist society...

Humans are short sighted beings, we lack the collective ability to eat bitter plants and live physically challenging lives unless we’re being chased by a species that no longer exists

Well said Ross, I don't think bitterness is in your heart, anyone who see's what modernity is doing to the earth and isn't outraged is not paying attention or doesn't care.

You speek the truth. But I fear that you let bitterness in your heart. I know this feeling to well. I dont know the Solution, i just wanted to tell you, you are not alone. Greetings from germany.

Oh you see my friend, because -the lizards- we have to make our profits The quarterly returns of ignoring those pesticides and micro plastics -polluting- seeping into the beach -make me sick- are through the roof

" last hundred years " Irony is the more knowledge we acquire the less we seem likely to head off our own made peril.

Guy...wow. what a presentation. Great delivery. But can you keep it up?... Be yourself. Great insight

It’s exponential, more carbon per acre is stored with the age of the forest. A 200 year old forest stores 4 times the carbon per year of a 100 year old forest, not just double. Making protecting our oldest tree stands the most important thing we can do to manage their carbon intake. Managing a forest through small and medium trees only will never reach the carbon storage per year that older tree stands can do.

New paradigm of nature education!

You’ve articulated so well what I feel in my soul. The culmination of my efforts brought me here, to say thank you for being a light⭐️ just sent this to all my friends!

In the US climate and conservation has become partisan too :/

Nice explanation of natural process vs human planted forests

The intertwining of all things living told so beautifully.

We all mourn this tree with you Hopefully its children will take its beauty 100 fold

A lot of great habitat created from that tree falling

Very nice treeulogy there Ross ;)

Great eulogy, Ross. Can a local nursery quickly get cuttings to for root propagation? Then subsequent plantings down the road?

💚
