Happy National Forest Week! We're celebrating the unique diversity of our working forests across North America. Today, we're spotlighting the unique ecosystem of the Pacific Northwest Coastal Temperate Rainforest. ⁣ This biome is primarily made up of Douglas Firs, Western Hemlocks, and Redwoods. The forest canopy supports a diverse ecosystem of wildlife, from the bald eagle to the salamander, and beneath the canopy, you may also find a black bear. The forest floor is a living carpet of vibrant mosses, ferns, and wildflowers, each playing a crucial role in the ecosystem's balance. Together, these elements create a rich tapestry of life that makes up the biodiversity of the Pacific Northwest forests. Which forest should we highlight next? #NationalForestWeek #Forestry #Sustainability #BuildingValue --- Bonne Semaine nationale des forêts! Il s’agit d’une occasion de célébrer la diversité des forêts de l’Amérique du Nord au sein desquelles nous travaillons. Aujourd'hui, nous découvrons l'écosystème unique de la forêt pluviale tempérée côtière du Nord-Ouest du Pacifique. Ce biome est principalement constitué de sapins de Douglas, de pruches occidentales et de séquoias. La canopée de la forêt abrite un écosystème diversifié d'animaux sauvages, parmi lesquels on compte le pygargue à tête blanche et la salamandre. Sous cette voûte, vous pourriez également apercevoir un ours noir. Le sol de la forêt est un tapis vivant de mousses, de fougères et de fleurs sauvages, chacune jouant un rôle crucial dans l'équilibre de l'écosystème. Ensemble, ces éléments créent une riche tapisserie de vie qui constitue la biodiversité des forêts du Nord-Ouest du Pacifique. Quel est le prochain type de forêt que nous devrions explorer?

Did you know that we conserve forest habitat for a variety of wildlife? For example, this old tolerant hardwood forest supports 28 species of birds, mammals, and other wildlife, including barred owls, whose distinctive “who-cooks-for-you-all” call carries long distances through the trees at night.

Par exemple, cette vieille forêt de feuillus tolérants abrite 28 espèces d'oiseaux, de mammifères et d'autres animaux sauvages, dont la chouette rayée, dont le cri distinctif " who-cooks-for-you-all " se propage la nuit sur de longues distances à travers les arbres.

💪 🌍 YES, WE CAN MOMENT: Example on how Nature is bouncing back. 🐋 A giant sei whale has made a comeback yesterday off Argentina's Patagonia coast 100 years after vanishing due to hunting. We are seeing encouraging signs everywhere we look. Once we reduce the overexploitation of our natural world and put in place effective measures to protect it, then species have the extraordinary resilience to bounce back. We need to work with nature rather than against it. It is our only way. ----------------------- My name is Philippe Schuler.

Today begins National Wildlife Week. To kick off this week, let’s pay homage to the bison, which played an important role in Métis daily life. From 1810-1870, the plains bison was a symbol of survival and prosperity. The Métis’ deep connection to nature was woven into every aspect of their life. The Métis utilized every part of the bison, embodying the spirit and harmony with the land. Hides were used for clothing and blankets while embracing warmth and tradition. Skins were crafted into bags and ropes, carrying stories of resourcefulness. Bones transformed into knives and tools, a testament to their ingenuity. Horns evolved into spoons and ladles to create delicious traditional recipes. The meat, serving as valuable trade and sustenance, nurtured both physical well-being and social connections within the community. The Métis harmonized with the changing seasons, engaging in bison hunts twice a year. Image: White Bison at the Visions, Hopes and Dreams Wildlife Park.

🦪 A PEARL OF THE OCEAN 🦪 Today we’re shellebrating all things oysters! A simple, but often overlooked animal that’s a champion on our Oceans. Despite their size, oysters have the power to provide unique habitats and a range of benefits to both the surrounding environment and to people. Every small action can make a difference! 🧑🦳 Oysters can live up to 20 years. They grow by attaching themselves to hard surfaces in the water and are typically mature enough to reproduce within a year. 🌊 Oyster beds and reefs provide habitat for many other species. A single oyster can filter up to 50 gallons of water a day, cleaning the water as they do so. 🎊 Oysters have significant cultural importance in many coastal communities, both as a food source and for their economic value in the fishing industry. Oyster festivals and shellebrations are common in many parts of the world. The Oyster Restoration Project began with a vision to restore a once thriving oyster population in the Solent. Oysters were once abundant across the Solent and formed a ring of beds around the UK. More than 85% of oyster beds have been lost globally with the UK population declining by more than half in the last 25 years. Each OceanSaver products donates 1% for restoring vital marine habitats, including oysters, in the Solent with Blue Marine Foundation 🌊 #BlueMarineFoundation #PurposeBrand #Ocean #Solent

#DidYouKnow Our July tree of the month is the Quercus Virginiana: Live Oak. Most often seen along the NC coast, the Live Oak is an iconic Southern shade tree native to our area but not very common in the Piedmont. Its gnarled branches often have Spanish moss hanging from them and while it is not a true evergreen, it retains its leaves until the new ones emerge, giving it a year-round “live” look unlike other oaks. The leathery texture of their leaves helps them retain moisture during the hot summer months. While the Quercus Virginiana is recognized as a white oak species, there are other live oak species that have characteristics more commonly found in red oaks. 🌳 Category: Uniquely deciduous, and often mistaken for evergreen 🌳 Growth rate: Medium 🌳 Adaptability: Full sun, partial sun/shade; not able to survive freezing temperatures for extended periods. 🌳 Shape: Rounded & spreading 🌳 Size: 40-80’ tall, 30-100’ crown spread 🌳 Color: Yellow-brown wood with year-round green leaves 🌳 Fruit: Tapered acorns on long stalks with bowl-shaped caps and sharp scales. The acorns can be eaten after the tannin has been leached or boiled out. 🌳 Wildlife Value: Provides food, shelter and nesting habitats for birds, mammals, and insects.
