It’s just the start of work to solidify protection of mature forests in King County. Please use this as an inspiration in your own county, town, or back yard. Planting a tree is worthy too, but keeping the ones we have left, epically in ecosystems which remain undeveloped, is crucial to salvaging what’s left- truly, left, of our living planet for ourselves, and the future generations. Call your council members and ask what the strategic plans are to ensure the preservation of your ecosystem. It’s not just trees, but wetlands, deserts, shrub step, grasslands, all the growing things left, and there are islands of green spaces, even in urban places like New York City- I know, I worked in Central Park, for the Conservancy. Making a contribution in time, money, and social awareness within your community can save what’s left, and make a difference in future planning for the restoration of our environment, and the social capitol our wilder and truly wild spaces offer in un-calcuable dividends in what we truly need to survive- clean air, water, and soil.
