Adapting Through Crisis: Forest Species Migration
Seeding Hope for PNW Forests From Our Neighbors To The South
Have you ever felt a deep connection to a place? For me, that place is the woods of Mason County in the PNW. It’s been my home for over thirty years, starkly contrasting with the dry, arid landscape of my Southern California upbringing. The lush, green forests here are alive, whispering secrets from a prehistoric era, filled with life and beauty. But now, they face a crisis. Climate change is here, and its impact is undeniable. Each day, as I drive to work, I witness its effects firsthand, seeing more and more dead trees lining the roads through the forest I love.
This story isn’t just about our problems; it’s about seeing an opportunity amid a crisis. It’s a chance not only to save the forests of the PNW but also to protect species under threat from California. By relocating native California redwoods and other key species northward, we can preserve these endangered trees and the forest landscapes of the PNW.
