The aftermath of California's devastating 2018 Camp Fire highlights the far-reaching effects of #climate-driven disasters. The wildfire's aftermath led to a significant migration of displaced residents, with 37,000 resettling across all 50 states. This migration underscores the growing reality of climate-induced relocation and its wide-ranging effects on individuals and communities.

David Elstone, RPF, GDBA on point, as always, on the growing risks of failing to address forest health through active, effective and truly sustainable forest management - and of failing to have real, fact-driven conversations about our #forests, #wildfire, and #publicsafety. Our forest ecosystems, northern and rural communities, and regional economies and infrastructure depend on us stepping up and getting this right. It's time for this conversation.

As we are saddened about the destruction in Jasper due to wildfire, it absolutely stuns me that there is continued resistance and even a lawsuit over the forest health restoration work in City of Vancouver ‘s Stanley Park which was damaged by an insect, the Hemlock Looper, a few years ago. The infestation killed a large number of western hemlock trees, which pose tangible public safety concerns as well as a potential hazard as prime fuel for a fire should one occur. Remember the trees being cut are already dead!!!!!!!!
