Locos por la Geología

Entradas con la etiqueta ‘Reforestación’

I keep sharing some paragraphs from this book by Charlotte Gill, because I consider it is probably the best one that I have ever met on the subject of ecology and reforestation. Enjoy it as much as I myself do.

Woods Lagoon is a purse of water ringed by an old cedar forest. The trees rise to dead white spars like wooden bayonets, It is a gnarled ecosystem, sprouted out of rock, and thin dirt, pounded through maturity by cataracts of coastal rains. The forests here are something of a natural freak, a testament to the acreeting tenacity of cedar, which will try to grow wherever their seeds find moisture. It smells and feels like a place uninterrumpted by history, populated by hoary beings of the past. If pterodactyls swooped down from de canopy, they’d hardly take us by surprise.

See you next Monday with some texts of my own. Graciela.
