Scots Pine

Scotch pine is native to Europe and Asia. From the British and Scandinavian peninsulas through central Europe south to the Mediterranean and east through eastern Siberia, Scotch pine can be found at varying elevations. It is adaptable to a wide variety of sites and accordingly, has been widely planted for both Christmas tree and ornamental purposes. Although plantations have been established in the United States for the purpose of producing forest products, the species does not perform as well as

The Thane of Cawdor, Stefan reread the black ink that stained words onto the sandy brown paper that had been worn from old age. He pushed back from his slouched position that had his back aching due to tense muscles in his back from stress. He didn’t know what was right or wrong anymore. A red blotch harboured his cheek where he had rested his head on his coarse hand. Growing irritated at his own behaviour, the worrying, anxiety and confusion, he stood abruptly out of his wooden desk chair, the legs

materialistic world. A smile creeps across my face as I anticipate my long sought solitude. I will be safe; no one will seek me here. I will be left alone with my imagination. The old wooden bench greets me as it leans its back against a sturdy pine tree. It beckons to me to come share its secret world, to watch the day and all its happenings from

the re-establishment of fynbos after the commercial pine had been planted there 11 years to 23 years ago. The commercial pine was originally planted in the Tokai for commercial and industrial reasons, such as to make paper or wood for fire. On top of affecting the natural fynbos vegetation the pine was also jeopardizing the surrounding environment by starving the other plant life of the natural water resources. The cutting of the commercial pine is aiming to re-establish the indigenous Cape Flats

seats cracking, teenage girls laughing and the makeshift radio blasting we followed behind the boys in their SUV to Woodland Park. The brisk March wind rattled the old windows of our little white and blue, borrowed bus. Miles of twisting roads and pine trees that seemed to pierce the low floating clouds lead us to our retreat house. Gravel crunched beneath our tires, hitting the sides of our bus, creating a rumble under our feet as we pulled up the drive. Great gray boulders outlined planters along

Throughout Earth’s history, frost free days have varied over the years. Since the mid-1970s, however, global temperatures have risen rapidly (Easterling, 2002). This raises the question about how climate change is affecting frost free days. What will the future look like if we go about “business as usual”? An increase in the number of frost free days would affect certain species in negative ways, while others in positive ways. There would be economical impacts as well. One might think an increase

feeling while driving. After about an hour drive we finally made it to our destination, Camp Enfer. Camp Enfer was worn out beyond its years. Fortunately for the camp it was placed in the middle of a beautiful landscape. It was surrounded by gigantic pine trees. It had valleys that seem to go on forever. A lake that glistened in the sunshine. Hills that were greener than a Granny Smith apple picked on a sunny spring day. As I stepped out of the cab I smelled the chilly fresh air that surrounded

Fun, Love, & Comfort in the Home with the Green Door In a small town called Whigham located in the southwest part of Georgia is a home numbered 201 in the middle of Harrell Avenue Northwest. The home is shaded by a mighty oak tree, its exterior is white in color with a forest green metal door and window trim painted forest green to match the door. On the outside this house is full of plant life, two domestic dogs that guard the home from morning to night, and wild animals living off the provisions

Streaks of shimmering sunlight filtered through a golden canopy of trees, casting elegant shadows to dance across the mossy verdure. The lush grass was invested with thriving insects that swarmed on the ground like an overcrowded marketplace. The crickets made a harmonious song that echoed throughout the forest, almost in sync with the repetitive calls of exotic animals that were crawling through shrubbery and soaring high in the leafy giants. Leathery leaves brushed against each other in the feeble
