Earlier this summer my family and I went on a hike to view the restoration of the Elwah River in the Olympic Peninsula. The entire valley was transformed last year after the removal of the Elwha dam. The enormous trees towering over the path filter the light in ways that remind me of The Forbidden Forest that borders the Hogwarts School in Harry Potter books.
Did you know that the old growth forests of the Pacific Northwest produce three times the biomass (living or once living material) of tropical rain forests?
