HELP SAVE BOREAL FOREST by calling on Costco to use recycled or forest-free materials in its toilet paper
In the time it takes you to brush your teeth tonight, #Canada 's #BorealForest will lose three football fields of #trees.
It's alarming, but the culprit is softer than you think: We're watching the boreal disappear before our eyes in part because #Costco uses boreal trees to make toilet paper.

Thinking about #forestfires in #canada today. 10 y ago, Rick Schneider put out a report predicting what would happen to the #ecoregions of #Alberta because of 🌡️ #climatechange.
It shocked me 🤯 to see how much more #grassland there would be and how much less 🌲#BorealForest by 2050.
In 2023, I think we’re seeing how this massive #ecological transition plays out. Those trees don’t just disappear- they 🔥 #burn.
And as they burn, they release massive amounts of #carbon.

US-centric and a few days late for World Forest Day, but... https://www.nrdc.org/bio/jennifer-skene/issue-tissue-how-us-flushing-forests-away

Anyone fellow #BorealForest researchers on here planning on attending this conference in August in Finland 🇫🇮? Sounds very interesting to me. 🌲 🌲 🌲 :) Abstracts are open until Jan 30th.
@plants @nature While I was looking at #June photos for insect shots, I noticed tons of (mostly) un-used/edited #flower pics too, so here for #FlowersOnFriday some #wildflowers on the acreage and farm #nature #NativePlants #Alberta #BorealForest

A few select pieces from my #AspenParkland series. While Autumn seems like a distant memory, the colours of fall thru #aspen trees is one of my favourite year round palettes! #acryliconcanvas #originalart

Art #Ecology Education!
One of my favourite projects. A #BorealForest Interpretive #mural. Celebrating #oldgrowth, to #peatlands, mix wood to #wetland, canopy to understory & all the species that occupied each niche. Add teaching companion classes! #art

photos in collage main post:
top left/right- weak afternoon sun reaching through woodland on the acreage #BorealForest
centre- one of Mom's old penguin #collection. scattered around in holiday vignettes, this one catching a shaft of light from the open door.
bottom- 2 cacti- both used to be in small genera- names I still like to use- left Brasilicactus haselbergii, right Eriocactus leninghausii ( I think) both later lumped into Notocactus, then that whole genus became Parodias.-#houseplants

The spruce trees that have lost their tops are an interesting feature in a North Karelian fell top forest. We sometimes get a heavy load of snow on the crowns and overall. #BorealForest #Snow ❄️🌲
As a dweller in the sub-#Arctic, #permafrost is indeed disappearing and the #BorealForest is burning. This tipping points are here now. #COP27 #ClimateBreakdown https://grist.org/climate-tipping-points-amazon-greenland-boreal-forest/

3/3 #3GoodThings
3-surprised to see Comma #butterflies carrying on (mating?) in the same place I saw them a few weeks ago (clear area of grass/sedge between woody #wetland (willows, birch etc) on one side + moist mixed woodland (spruce poplar etc) on the other.
I won't swear to it, but I think these were Green Comma/ Polygonia faunus whereas I felt those I saw before were Satyr Commas. Is it likely 2 different/related species would be mating in the same spot a few weeks apart? #BorealForest
