Wild Forests and Fauna<\/a>\u00a0is proud to partner with the producers, artists and hosts at Pisgah Brewing Company<\/a> for Jam in the Trees<\/a> taking place August 26th and 27th in Asheville, NC!<\/p>\n *Featuring The Wood Brothers<\/a>, The Del McCoury Band<\/a>, Junior Brown<\/a>, Willie Watson<\/a>, Chatham County Line<\/a> and more!<\/p>\n WildFF envisions a world where the planet\u2019s wildlife and wild forests are protected, ensuring widespread benefits for current and future generations. We hold this at our core and we work toward this vision with communities\u00a0through place-based\u00a0projects to protect threatened forests and species.<\/p>\n Research continues to strongly support\u00a0the importance of big trees in mitigating climate change, regulating the continual growth of forests, and providing habitat for many species. The livelihood of ecosystems largely depend on these important species. Whether they be the giant sequoias of coast redwoods of California, the ironwood or mahogany of Peru, the baobabs of Africa, or the oaks and chestnuts of Appalachia, big trees are invaluable to life and spirit,\u00a0carrying meaning for both individuals and cultures alike. Yet, these tree species are becoming increasingly threatened by pressures of development, resource extraction and climate change.\u00a0The rate of extraction of the oldest and largest trees is taking a toll on many ecosystems as these important species disappear at an alarming rate.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
