Untold Stories
Land owners are refusing to clear-cut the forest to make a fast chunk of change, but instead choose to work with the land. The forest is a beautiful place and it gives off a sweet fragrance that penetrates my senses every time I pad along its trails.
The woods is home to cougars, bear, bobcat, coyote, deer, bore, turkeys, owls, eagles, songbirds and the usual small critters like squirrels, turtles, snakes and lizards.
During spring, fragrant flowering trees that of Dogwood, Wild Cherry and American Snowbell open wide and freely fill the air with olfactory pleasure.
Early summer hits my senses again with the heavenly smell of honeysuckle. Abundant with enticing flowers honeysuckle calls to hummingbirds that just can't resist it's charm.
In June, under the canopy, dappled sunlight dances across my face. Wild Blackberries ripen closely followed by native Mulberry and Wild Cherry.
Late summer, wild plum explode with tangy fruits and wild muscadine mingle among the bush and climb towering trees reaching for the sky. The vines carry swollen grapes that burst with delicious flavor in my mouth.
In the fall, as the trees sway peacefully and the breeze tickles my hair, the hazelnuts, pecans. acorns and beech nuts ready themselves to drop their tasty treats to the earth.
Each year the trees sequester tons of CO2, cleaning the air and the carbon footprint of countless families. So why would land owners and business clear-cut such abundance that protects our earth; shelters and feeds millions of creatures, and brings such solace and joy?
How could we all increase the health and and habitat of the forest?
Pudgy Perch is my answer to that question. By thinning clustered trees land owners could make the forest healthier and have a positive impact on the wildlife while offsetting the cost of owning it.
So now you have read what I have experienced -- the gifts of the forest and that we can always find a solution without extracting everything for ourselves. As a human living on this planet we should all consider this paramount over the maximization of profit.
