"To reconnect with nature is key if we want to save the planet." — Jane Goodall

We must stand up for our National Forests and protect them from those who have not truly connected with nature. 🌲

Great trail run this weekend in a beautiful CO National Forest. I have a Trail Thoughts with Sam video that talks all about why we need our National Forest lands coming soon.

We need to keep these wild spaces away from the greedy!

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨Trump is aggressively dismantling the Forest Service. He has plans for all that National Forest land, because he thinks it's his, but actually it's OURS. We need it. Here's the scoop, and something you can do in less than an hour of your time today to push back. #URGENT #nationalforests

This bastard's spent his life in a gold-plated urban penthouse. His idea of nature is riding in a cart on a chemical laden golf course. He has NO BUSINESS opening up our public lands for private enterprise, exploitation and timber! #SaveourPublicLands #USForestService

Steve Pearce's BLM nomination advances despite opposition The Senate committee advanced Steve Pearce's nomination to lead the Bureau of Land Management, despite opposition from Sen. Martin Heinrich.

I don't know where this is as of yet. Whether he has been confirmed yet. If he hasn't, we need to try to stop it.

The image presents a withered ponderosa pine standing alone on a rocky slope, its form stripped to essentials. The tree’s trunk rises at a slight angle, thick and weathered, the bark darkened and textured by age and repeated exposure to wind and snow. Its branches extend outward in long, irregular lines, mostly bare, thinning into a fine lattice of twigs that trace the air rather than fill it. There is no foliage to soften the structure; instead, the tree reveals its full skeletal geometry, each limb a record of years spent enduring rather than flourishing. The ponderosa appears neither recently dead nor fully alive. It occupies an in-between state—withered, exhausted, but still upright. Some branches sag under their own weight, others twist sharply, as if shaped by prevailing winds. Small knots and broken ends suggest limbs lost long ago, torn away by storms or the cumulative burden of winter ice. The tree does not dominate the scene; it stands as a solitary figure, exposed, holding its ground without ceremony. Behind it, the landscape opens into a broad, layered view. A dense forest of darker conifers spreads across the midground, their forms softer and more uniform, creating a visual contrast with the stark individuality of the foreground tree. Beyond the forest, pale mountain ridges recede into the distance, their contours muted by atmospheric haze. Snow lingers on the slopes, thin and uneven, emphasizing elevation and cold rather than abundance. The mountains feel far away and indifferent, a quiet backdrop rather than a dramatic focal point. The sky is overcast, rendered in soft gray tones that flatten shadows and drain warmth from the scene. Light is diffuse and subdued, offering no sharp highlights or dramatic contrast. This even, colorless illumination reinforces the mood of stillness and restraint. Nothing in the image suggests movement; the air feels heavy and quiet, as if sound would carry far.

This withered Ponderosa seems to obstruct what would be a great view of the Big Belt Mountains from the front yard..

or is It?

Tree deaths outpace growth two-to-one, speaker says; wildfire blamed, logging defended An unidentified speaker, citing U.S. Forest Service reports, said tree mortality in national forests exceeds growth by two-to-one and attributed much of the loss to wildfire. The speaker said timber harvesting accounts for about 25% of net growth and called logging part of the solution.

Tree deaths in national forests now outnumber new growth by a staggering two-to-one, with wildfires being the main culprit.
