"It is the color closest to light. In its utmost purity it always implies the nature of brightness and has a cheerful, serene, gently stimulating character. Hence, experience teaches us that yellow makes a thoroughly warm and comforting impression."
- (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)

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.

For still there are so many things that I have never seen: in every wood in every spring there is a different green.
