For the Love of Our Methow Valley, we put together this beautiful film sponsored by the North Cascades Conservation Council. We believe in compelling inclusive solutions for fire safety while respecting the ecological sensitivity of our forests. Our hope is to motivate you to get involved in stopping a proposed project that is in the process of changing the natural character of Our Backyards. Don’t worry peeps, its not only about the trees, our flick has some radical action within, and you might even recognize yourself river running or dancing a jig!
It is time to pay attention my friends, and remember why many of us live here in the first place. I just had a friend from down south tell me their community is up in arms as Forest Service projects impacted their natural landscapes, outdoor recreation and their connection with nature driving some to “sell the farm.”
Now is the time to make your voices heard! We have a once in a lifetime opportunity to shape the health of our forests for generations to come. The local Ranger District wants to reduce wildfire risk using old school profit-driven logging practices. What we need is innovative and holistic science-based ecological solutions that uphold nature as the bottom line. The 53,000 acre Twisp River Midnight “restoration” project / timber sale open for public comment until May 16. These projects are being fast tracked with very little public process and the quality of life in our precious valley is at stake.
Fortunately, the
@methowcitizens has made a comment guide to follow, because unless you’ve been abreast of the project, have a forestry degree, it is nearly impossible to understand what the Forest Service has planned. Link In Bio
First, and foremost, please enjoy the heck out of our movie as we made it for all of you.
Remember, if it puts a smile on your face, or even makes you shed a tear, don’t hesitate to let us know with a kaw kaw comment, like, and share. The algorithm loves positive clicks, and as Don from K-Root always says, and we concur 110 %, We are all in it together!
