"It is the sky that makes the earth so lovely at sunrise, and so splendid at sunset. In the one it breathes over the earth the crystal-like ether, in the other the liquid gold."
(Thomas Cole)

Trees are poems that the earth writes upon the sky."
- Kahlil Gibran
(Several years ago an almost 200 hectare wildfire came close to completely destroying this area - and the trees you see in the photo are mostly badly charred but did survive - thanks to courageous firefighters the homes and recreational sites in the park were spared)
The biggest impact comes after a wildfire has moved through an area. Wildlife can perish as a result of habitat loss with food sources and nesting sites burned in the fire. The devastating flames destroy the food, water, and shelter wildlife need to survive – an impact that can last for years. The burned landscape left after a wildfire often results in a new type of habitat, replacing forests with shrubs and grass.
Species who rely on old growth forests for their diet and shelter will suffer the most.

"From my perspective, I absolutely believe in a greater spiritual power, far greater than I am, from which I have derived strength in moments of sadness or fear. That's what I believe, and it was very, very strong in the forest." (Jane Goodall)
