I paid a visit to my favourite Beech tree again today. It was misty and cold, but its roots stretched out towards me like a warm, welcoming hand, covered in a carpet of moss

@Gaythia Oh, I can see why that’s your favourite! How wonderful. How big is that trunk?! Have you got any pics with someone next to it for scale? Thanks for sharing!
@DrLygo Sadly, Henry Cowell State park is a small and heavily visited protected zone (Near Santa Cruz, CA). So straying off the path is discouraged. Historically, women's groups played key roles in protecting these areas from logging. https://scholarworks.unr.edu/bitstream/handle/11714/8220/Knoll_unr_0139M_13782.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y
@Gaythia I love that. Anyone protecting trees is a friend of mine 🥰
