Always Watching
An owl watches intently as hikers and campers enjoy his home. Always wary of the negligence of his human visitors, you can be sure that he is always watching your every move!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Behave yourself when you visit someone's home! -- We have all heard this saying in one way or another. To be careful of their rules and the courtesy of leaving their things and house undamaged is engrained in every child. So why are humans so lax to heed the same in our beautiful forests and woodlands?
Did you know...
Nearly 60 percent of all forest fires are caused by humans, according to the ratio of lightning-started versus human-started fires from 2001 to 2012.
(I find this is unacceptable!)
Fire can be beneficial...
Fire can be beneficial to forests and also a catastrophic natural disaster. Many forest ecosystems rely on wildfires, or natural unplanned fires, to remain healthy and help new trees grow. Wildfires remove accumulated deadwood, open areas to plants that require a lot of sunlight and can stimulate seed growth. But, a healthy balance is required to maintain the overall forest health. This is why controlled fires are prescribed by a team of experts for natural resource management. Prescribed fires are an ecologically sound tool to reduce potential destructive wildfires and maintain long-term air quality. Both wildfires and prescribed fires play a role in forest ecosystems, but restoration and protection of these lands are also important.
