The Rainforests of the Tarkine, some 177,000 hectares, include the largest unbroken stand of rainforest in Australia. A relic from the ancient continent, Gondwanaland, the Tarkine rainforest is one of the most significant temperate rainforests on earth. It is home to 56 threatened and endangered species, such as the Giant Freshwater Crayfish – the world’s largest freshwater invertebrate and the Tasmanian Wedge Tailed Eagle – the largest Eagle in Australia. These rainforests are recognised as being one of the most significant tracts of temperate rainforest on earth, and are under imminent threat. While logging of pure stands of rainforest is occurring in and around the periphery of the Tarkine, the logging industry is pushing the Tasmanian Government to allow logging through the heart of the Tarkine Rainforests. This would divide the rainforest and seriously fragment the Tarkine’s wilderness qualities. Information sourced from John Merory I recently had the pleasure of working with Maree Jenkins who is soon to be opening her Tarkine Wilderness Lodge in the heart of the Tarkine Rainforest. Maree shared with me her love and intense passion for this very important little corner of the world. By establishing the Lodge as a viable tourism venture Maree hopes to stave off the chainsaws and brutal machinery of the Government which threaten to steal the life breath of the forest, stripping it of its natural beauty. Save our forests. They desperately need our voice for they have no voice of their own.

This is in dedication to my dad who was a forester. He loved this spot and took good care of all the beautiful land entrusted to him.

Strictly speaking this is not a country road, being a track used more or less exclusively by forestry vehicles, quad bikes and the occasional 4WD club rally. Again it is through the forests of the Porongorup Ranges in the south of Western Australia about 400kms south of Perth

Up a way in a canyon, not far from our home / lives a herd of Elk, protected to roam Thousands will gather to feed winter long / When the voices die down you can hear their song Whistles from the elders warn young to stay near / While humans stand watch, as hunters they fear A dedicated few load tons of hay in trucks / to feed the tagged elders, does and young bucks Their great strength and power is visible in stance / While their stamina defense leads a predatory dance Wapiti is the native name known far and abroad / As the noblest hoofed being in regal promenade Seldom solitary, most often they’ll congregate / Bugling from watch outs disperse and reintegrate A sight to behold each winter we’ve witnessed / The blessing of beauty in the Pacific Northwest. tkrosevear 2007 WindOwl Oak Creek Canyon Elk feeding station is a preserve where hunting is off-limits, at the eastern base of the Cascades beneath Mt. Rainier. Photo is as is

I took this photo on vacation in British Columbia this past fall, of logs being jammed up for transport on the salmon arm of the Shushwap Lake in British Columbia’s densely forested interior. Driving through those towns, its impossible to miss the signs of mining and forestry- for good or ill, they are everpresent in the otherwise pristine environment, much like grain elevators and oil rig in Alberta, where we live. Love the scale of this one, and those forest greens and indigo blues, industrial scenes are rarely so appealing!

Driving Eastwards from Taumarunui, North Island, New Zealand, towards Lake Taupo, there are some fascinating landforms which were once under natural forest. After the clearances of the timber, many of these were turned over to grazing, but the forests are slowly returning on some of it. This vista appealed to me mainly because of the strong tree line, with its pruned stems providing clear timber and a renewable resource for the future.

Forest enterprises burn and deplete the land of the natural forest biodiversity. / These mayflies are 65 million years old and may not live after the next ten tears due to climate change, global warming and industrial greed. / Tasmania is loosing forests because of a world trade for newspapers for japan. Every country needs to be sustainable within there own land and international trade needs to stop along with the greed to rape the earth.

First outing with my D90. It has been raining since I got my new camera and today the rain turned into snow. As soon as it stopped snowing, I decided to go out and get some shots. In this shot, some of you might think the floating picnic table may be distracting but I framed it in there on purpose. I kind of liked it. I dont know why, I just did. It was kind of neat watching the wind blow it out in the middle of the lake. !!!Please view this one larger for better details!!! D90, 18-200mm VR, tripod

I love this man…a WW II bomber pilot, sweet and kind, help anyone he come across, good doing GRANDPA. He’s now lost his feeling in his fingers and from his knees down to Agent Orange, a pesticide he used in the forestry department many years ago. He’s 88 years old now and his health is sadly failing. Still strong though, still Grandpa! He was one of them (extra) ordinary people living in extraordinary times, there’s no doubt about that. I’m proud to say he’s my very Great Grandpa Bahr!

This bridge spans the Loyalsock Creek in Sullivan County, PA. It is called a pony truss bridge. It is a single lane bridge with 3 layers of wooded planks for the floor. It leads to Camp 95 which was a CCC (civilian conservation corps) camp prior to WW II. The bridge is still in use today located on PA State Forestry land.

In mid June I made some friends in Pinedale, Wyoming who worked for the Forestry Service. The trail I had planned to hike was under four feet of fresh snow, so I opted to hang out with these folks for the night. / / We went dock fishing at Fremont Lake in the Bridger-Teton National Forest. / / This is a 2 minute 25 second exposure of the three of us on the end of the dock. The light and shadows cast are from the moon.
