Oldgrowth vs Second Growth Coastal Temperate Rainforests

[@tenzinlegtsok]

Awesome video! I subscribed. I like the thorough back and forth comparisons, and the pep talk for wholesome change and the end. Please keep it coming. Without old growth we forget what's possible.

Our woodworking class loves your video's and your catchy tune!

[@NerdyAboutNature]

Oh heck yeah, glad you dig the jingle!

growing up near old growth forest/parks is something I am very appreciative of, im now in a southern state wishing I could afford to go back. I appreciate the work of those protecting and making changes for these forests.

[@matt05024]

really cool video! I wrote a paper comparing old growth and second growth carbon sequestration for class, but the visual comparison really shows how different they are. I got to visit old growth forests in BC as a kid, hopefully they don't get cut down before I get another chance

[@NerdyAboutNature]

Nice, that sounds like a good paper! Thanks for doing your part!

The Cascadian rainforests might be one of the world’s most beautiful biomes cause what’s nicer than a mysterious, misty coniferous forests with these insanely big old growth cedars, douglas firs and spruce, covered with moss and lichens... Hoping so much that destruction of Fairy Creek Rainforest can be prevented, turning it into a sustainable tourist attraction might pay off much more anyway! Your video’s are super informative, thanks for sharing all this information!

[@NerdyAboutNature]

I totally agree, such gorgeous forests hey?!

[@Wethecenter]

Thanks so much …. Appreciate your efforts

I wish the big logging companies would plant different species of trees, like in an old growth forest! That would be better than the Second Growth forests that were planted by companies with no imagination!! I love your videos! I learn so much from you. I love old growth forests a lot! Keep on making these videos!! ~ Janet in Canada

[@NerdyAboutNature]

Thanks Janet, stoked you're stoked! I agree completely!

Great presentation. We want to create a diversified food forest on our 80 acres in central Manitoba. Thanks for sharing.

[@matt05024]

food forests are so cool, I usually hear about them further south but I hope yours turns out great

[@NerdyAboutNature]

Ahh that sounds awesome, go for it!

[@ggt6743]

Very informative and crucial....thank you so much for making these videos!

[@NerdyAboutNature]

Thanks so much, glad you're stoked!

[@jackfrankmurphy]

High quality video, thank you so much for it!

[@NerdyAboutNature]

Of course, glad you enjoyed it!

[@Nootnoot433]

Amazing video

[@NerdyAboutNature]

Thanks so much!

[@applesauce_0743]

This is a great video, and well explained!

[@NerdyAboutNature]

Thanks bud, glad you enjoyed!

[@BroncoBob3113]

I noticed you see a lot of ferns on the forest floor around old trees

[@NerdyAboutNature]

Totally, it takes a long time for those ferns to establish!

[@genopsych]

Delightful and informative video. Did have to slow down replay a bit because the pace of speech was agitating.

[@petalsm9937]

You are so soothing, beautiful, i learn so much from you and i love watching your videos. Keep going ♥️

[@NerdyAboutNature]

Thanks, stoked you're stoked!

Good stuff. Up here on Mt. Hood the blowdown is crazy with the hemlock. It makes a little more sense to me now. Barlow wayside park where I walk my dog feels like it has old growth, but then sections look like second growth. The massive Doug Fir stop me in my tracks. Anyway, lots to learn! Thanks

[@NerdyAboutNature]

Awesome, glad you're learning lots!

[@seanmcguire7974]

Would forest management or thinning of 2nd growth help promote native forest species?

[@NerdyAboutNature]

Yep, it sure would! There are many different restoration tactics we could use to help rehabilitate these secondgrowth forests

[@seanmcguire7974]

What about reserves? They're not allowed to log or build in those right?

[@NerdyAboutNature]

How do you mean?

[@Reed81315]

First off love the videos, second off this is a great compliment to the podcast completely arbortrary, thirdly: you keep mentioning the need to balance have forest based products and preserving forest at the same time. What does that look like? It feels like the only way would be to cut back the amount of paper pulp / wood / turpentine / etc that we use in our lives. Which I can't see anyone giving up paper products especially when people still can't give up single use plastic products

[@bigbird2240]

When you say planted at the same time do you mean they naturally were seeded or humans actually planted each one?

[@luciussulla987]

Now if only our government officials would stop spending so much time worrying about their best interests to start actually representing the will of the people instead of whichever big industry happens to fund them, offer little perks or even a high paying job once they've left office.

[@NerdyAboutNature]

yep!

[@smatos69]

Nice video! Please use some kommas and pauses. And slow down! Why all the hurry? It seems like it's a race all through the video. It´s about a peaceful theme, why make it an ennerving rush?

[@BushyHairedStranger]

Forests are NOT Plantations…second growth Plantations are not Forests. Lets keep that in mind.

[@GregBennett]

Good shit man but you talk so fast! I can hardly keep up.
