Icel Dobell has just released The New Old Growth: Voice of Promise. Through beautiful images and storytelling, this fourth video in the Sovereignty of the Six Mountains series reveals the nature of the giving Six Mountain Forest, rare and endangered ecosystems— our community forests that we have the opportunity and privilege to give back to.
But first we must know what they are. New Old Growth shows us exactly what they are: second growth, naturally regenerated forests functioning as old growth; and what they are not: tree plantations. New Old Growth is a feast for the eyes.
Video parts 1-4 are available on Where Do We Stand’s YouTube channel.
Icel Dobell was born in North Cowichan that has been home to her family for 6 generations. All of her life she has loved and traveled the Six Mountain Forest. Icel believes too live in paradise is a gift and responsibility and these videos are her way to give back, to do what she can for her grandchildren, and all children, to give hope, to create a brighter future. If they resonate with you, your love of nature and children, please “like” and share to help them grow. By lifting one finger, connecting, we may protect our collective backyard— the place where change in the world begins.
