Re: [RC] Headwaters Ride and old growth - Barbara McCrary
How do they account for regeneration after a
terrible natural disaster? Volcano eruption such as Mt. St. Helens?
Wind storms? Floods? In our part of the country, the redwoods were
stripped, between 1870 and the early 1900s. I have antique photos to prove
it. Now, the same areas are so heavily forested that they
are very wild. Humans are arrogant to think that they have control
over Nature, either to devastate or to restore. Nature has a way of
healing itself quite nicely. Sometimes it takes a little longer........and
in this day and age of instant gratification, some people aren't willing to
wait.
