The forests around my house die slowly and no one is noticing. Small groups of old growth Douglas Fir killed by bark beetle, hemlock eaten by looper moth, entire stands defoliated by spruce bud worm while the cedars died back during recent drought. The trees invisible by the forest. For now.

This is a great article. Why do you do the work instead of just hoping it’ll be ok?
“Because I’m in love. With salmon, with trees outside my window, with baby lampreys living in sandy streambottoms, with slender salamanders crawling through the duff.”
