Tree sitting

an eerie feeling and the whispers on the wind. The birds were chirping with glee as sticks snapped under my weight. The trees surrounding you are like a fortress of solitude for the lonely mind. Deeper yet I traverse and I stumble upon a mystical tree stump. It had blue and green aura around it that was rotating and swirling with sparks coming off. Then I heard a voice, “Come near weary traveler and drink from the base of the stump.” As the cool water quenched my thirst I felt stronger and more…

Adults aren 't the only ones who are affected by poverty. Children are affected in ways that aren 't seen by everyone. Every day a child goes to school they have to live with the fact that their family is struggling. Children are smarter than what adults think and they know when they are different than the majority of their classmates. From the clothes they wear to the food they eat, children know. Most children who have lived in poverty their whole life know no different, the ones who came from…

When thinking of a tree, it is easy to imagine a strong plant, established firmly into the soil, with a thick substantial trunk and vast outreaching branches. However, what does not typically come to mind is a scrawny seedling, with its new roots hardly ingrained into the soil. One with a toothpick of a trunk that is struggling to support itself. The fact of the matter is that every tremendous tree started as a measly sapling, but not every sapling is able to grow into a tree. The forest can be…

vibrant shade of red. We were driving on bumpy, muddy trails to check the trail cameras, which were hanging on the trees with a strap and a bright orange flag. The flag was there to warn us not to drive past or we would be caught on camera. I was sitting in the passenger seat while my dad was driving through every dirty puddle and mud hole that was in our view, with the rest of my family in the remainder…

Deforestation is Linked to Tiger’s Heading Towards Extinction We have all heard about the beauty of a rain forest and the majestic animals that hide in the shadows, perched in monstrous trees are chirping colorful birds, while basking in the sunlight. The rain forest holds many homes to beautiful and almost forgotten animals such as Tiger’s who are on a brink of extinction. Also, the beautiful trees are producing clean air for everything to live healthier because they are part of carbon…

I took a step. Beams of light blinded my eyes as the dense foliage above me turned into ochre as they descended from the autumnal boughs of the sycamore tree. The trees aligned themselves in front of me and began to undress themselves as their leaves pirouetted gracefully towards the ground. The gentle wind fanned my skin as it rushed to hug my legs, acting like a magnet to the hairs of my face. The dewy smell of yesterday’s rain embraced the grass; the leaves kissed the soles of my feet as a…

The Effects On Deforestation On People In South America Deforestation in South America has lots of different effects on many different things like animals, people, and the world.

The place that is currently the worst is South America. We get so many foods are…

This was repeated for soil, rock, tree, False Brome, etc. for complete analysis. If this was a pull plot, False Brome was pulled within the quadrat and the surrounding area. If this was a pull plot, the steps for determining coverage of plants were repeated. At the corners of the quadrat, tree density was measured by finding the nearest sapling and tree in the direction of the quadrat corner. Using the DBH tape, diameter of the trees and saplings were recorded and tree species was recorded. This…

Biome Description/ Definition The Savanna is an amazing biome and different from other biomes. The Savanna is an extensive grassland. In the grassland you will find a lot of shrubs and remote trees. The savanna can be found between a desert biome and the tropical rain forest. The desert as we know does not receive a lot of water but on the contrary the tropical rain forest so as you might have guessed the Savanna does not have much rain. In the Savanna it is mostly warm and only has 2 seasons.…

favour from an old friend, to help her drag a tree branch, covered in leaves, to put over the hole. It wasn’t the best cover, if someone were to be suspicious of the fallen tree and moved it, her progress would’ve all been for nothing. But, luckily, it seemed nobody had spotted it. Or maybe they had, and just hadn’t bothered to check it out. Either way, the hole remained. Getting in was probably the easiest part of the whole operation. Pull the tree branch aside, crawl through the hole, hide…
