The Sierra Club Meetup

A meeting to talk about the book Forest Walking

Hadn’t read the book but I knew what was in it

Sat and listened 

Connecting with women who hike and hug trees like me

I skipped the hike 

Men and machines removed four dead trees from my yard in the woods

They were a threat to the house

It had to be done

The next day, the earth was torn and reshaped 

There is a vacancy 

In the Sierra Club meeting they talked about living logs and how trees continue to work with and for the community until they have completely been returned to soil.

But also, the Sierra Club of Lancaster is pretty cool. You should check it out. So is the Lancaster County Park environmental Center. And, obviously, trees.
