Spend the day in a tropical forest.
But how to take a good picture of a dark
covered forest, with only a few rays of sunshine.
In the afternoon, joined the fantastic ranger walk,
an old wood logger for 30 years, who starts his
retirement today after 17 years in in ranger service.
And now, I knows everything about ....
Sitka Spruce
Light and very strong wood
Used for airplanes in WW I
Silver colored, fish net pattern bark
This one 270 ft heigh, 550 years old
Douglas Fir
Very strong wood
Very tick bast, tick enough for a hiding place for bats
Western Hemlock
The trash of the forest
Nurselogs
Fallen big trees. offers minerals, moisture
and warmth for new seedlings.
But only a few survive when the roots reach soil.
New trees seems to stand on stilts as the nurselogs
moulders away.
Mosses or epiphytes, feeding only air and light.
