{Alternate Title for Photos: My (Adult) Life in Trees}
Have you ever been asked the question, “If you had to choose between living near the ocean or the mountains, which would you pick?” I have been asked this question numerous times, and I always have the same answer. Both mountains and oceans are amazing. They inspire a humbling type of awe that is hard to match. However, I know (from growing up near neither) that I can live without them near me. I do need forests. I need trees. I need the leaves, the needles, the understory and the animals that depend on forest ecology to survive.
