David Suzuki: It’s time to stop logging old-growth forests The BC government has received a failing grade for not protecting old-growth forests By David Suzuki SkyF / Getty Images Plus Anyone who’s read the book I wrote with Wayne Grady, Tree: A Life Story, or Peter Wohlleben’s The Hidden Life Of Trees, knows there’s a big difference between a healthy forest and a tree plantation. Primary forests, especially old-growth, are complex, interconnected communities, with a variety of trees of different ages and sizes that communicate and share nutrients through complex networks of fungal mycorrhizae.
