A Year With the Trees

I write "A Year With the Trees" to bring an awareness to the world about the importance of trees to the future of our planet. Planting and being stewards of trees native to where you live is of vital importance for the health of animals, insects, birds, all life, including our own. I am studying the trees that are native to Southern Appalachia, where I live. This blog illustrates 92 trees and why we need to be responsible to keep native plant communities alive and well.

My first Ponderosa Pine

My first Ponderosa Pine tree.

I took a train trip up Pikes Peak yesterday with my sister and niece and great niece. The conductor, Ricky, led me on a short hike to my first Ponderosa Pine.

He told me it would smell like butterscotch or vanilla. I smelled butterscotch. I have got to find out about this!

More later...from Colorado
