Also these two National Park prints (Olympic and Death Valley), framed and matted look SO good together, I hope someone buys both so they don't get split up 🥺 #nps #nationalpark #nationalparkart #natureart

Hah, yeah it's so bad! Honestly the soil now is still very concentrated in ash! Even in the areas that are fully green now.

It's still a really dynamic ecosystem because the soil is changing and recovering still. The trees especially - used to be old growth pines but now it's mostly alders because they grow faster and easier.

This is such a great question!! I'm planning to write more about it in blog form soon, but it's both! After the eruption a few hardy plants survived via roots underground, many came via seed afterwards especially ones that can grow in bad ashy soil (taproots).
