coniferous forests have their own vibe, don’t they? feel ancient in a way that deciduous don’t. annual renewal vs straight up persistence.

Ah makes sense and jeeze check out the poetry on the sign. Life flourishing among the fallen, may it be so. “While the trees that came down may seem like a big loss, it's important to remember that wind is a regenerating force in coastal forests. Windstorms create openings that allow for new growth, including that of light-loving trees such as Douglas-fir. The fallen trees have been left in place to begin the process of decay and renewal. Fungi, bacteria and invertebrates will break down the trees and return nutrients to the soil - allowing new trees to grow strong and tall. As well, a variety of animals will feed on the bugs, and seek shelter or build nests within the decaying wood. Life will continue to flourish among the fallen”
