Mood: Thankful

Montana has/gets a lot of weather too, and trees.

In the summer it can get pretty smokey, but that is usually from fires in other states.

Montana is pretty active in thinning out its forests (not talking about commercial logging), including National Forests, focusing on culling diseased trees and overgrown understory.

This also keeps the bark beetle infestations in check, makes the forests more pleasant/accessible to use, and extreme cold or wind events do not cause as much trouble with downed trees.

Old growth redwood forests do much the same thing, on their own, by keeping new growth in check. However, in most parts of the west, including Montana, old growth is mostly a thing of the past, and active forest management benefits all.





A life of fears leads to a death bed of regrets.

Find someone who will take care of you, and take care of them.

Yes, you see the same in the Mammoth area as well.
