So you know how they say beauty is in the eyes of the beholder? And well, it is. This morning I went with a friend and our dogs to the Couturie Forest in City Park, which I’ve been hearing about for a while now. Yes, I was expecting a forest, but the sad fact is that most of the forest was denuded by the Federal Flood and the subsequent clean up that took away all the felled trees, which opened up space for invasive species to take hold and thrive.
As we were romping here and there around the forest, I thought about the trails out of my front door in Marin County and it’s like – whoosh – the beauty there is awesome, here, well, we are trying to make a forest grow back and eventually it will be there for a nature respite, in the meantime a lot of work lies ahead and let’s pray it doesn’t storm.
