โCan You See The Forest From The Trees?โ๐
Sometimes all you tend to see is what is right in front of yourโฆโฆโฆ..โบ๏ธ
Like the clear cut logging at the top of Silvertopโs street!๐ฎ
Slowly but surely, new plants are coming back, like the pink wildflower you see in the second photo!๐
I knowโฆ.. I can hear you nowโฆโฆโฆ..
Silvertop, it will take years for the forest to grow back!๐ค
Yes it will, but trees in the Pacific Northwest tend to grow much faster than in other parts of the Country!๐
Fast forward to PEPE in the fifth photoโฆโฆ..
See the tree stump PEPE is standing in, and the other tree stumps nearby?
This photo, and the next few photos were taken in a section of Sumas Mountain that was completely clear cut!
My green friend decided to join Silvertop for an afternoon hike on the Gold Mine Trail!๐ธ
The forest is peacefully quiet on this trail.
Except for the occasional โNice day, enjoy your hikeโ, when you pass a fellow hiker!๐
Young Douglas Fir, and Western red Cedar seedlings were planted here, just like the loggers planted on the clear cut at the top of Silvertopโs road!๐
After the first year or so of growth, you can expect to see 2 to 3 feet of growth on these trees each following yearโฆ.. itโs really quite amazing!โบ๏ธ
โNice hike today PEPE, Iโm very glad the rain stopped my green friend!โ๐
โSilbertopโฆ I forecast sunshine for next weekโฆโฆโฆMan!โ๐ธ
Well for once you and the local weather forecast are spot on together Lol!๐
โSilbertop you did bring umbrella just in case?โ๐ธ
Always my friend Lol!๐

Till tomorrow Silvertop Mike ๐
