Learn the speak #Whitebarkpine!
They’re the polar bear of trees.
A HOTTER DRIER climate is pushing
them UP & OFF the mountain 🌲

NATURAL BEAUTY is beauty
unaware of itself, humble
persistent in its growth
and deeply rooted
were it stands

#phenology Western Groundsel (Senecio integerrimus ‘untouched, whole, entire’) ripening seed in June mountain sun at 1300m.

IN #OREGON we have “lazy boy” ranching:
GAUGE PLANT was used in the past as a sign—
when it bolted—to move the COWS Up. Now, no
one would even recognize it!

of them," I think to myself.”

In the #WALLOWAS #EagleCapWilderness, when your
altimeter hits 2200m., start looking for this gestalt:
full rounded form, upward turning branches. Contrasts
sharply w/ more narrow Spruce & Fir. Upclose,
look for bundles 5-needles.
