The redcedar, a symbol of strength and cultural heritage, faces a chilling challenge: climate change. Traditionally used by Indigenous communities and prized for its durable wood, the redcedar thrives in cool, damp environments. However, rising temperatures and unpredictable rainfall disrupt this balance. Droughts and weakened trees pave the way for pests and diseases, jeopardizing their survival. This isn't just a loss for tradition; redcedars are vital for healthy forests, providing homes for countless species. Can we find a way to honor tradition while ensuring the redcedar's future? Conservation efforts focused on planting resilient strains and creating cooler microclimates offer a path forward. Finding solutions is crucial, for the redcedar's fate is intertwined with the health of our forests and the future of the species they shelter.
