We have several cedar and birch trees that have grown into one another.
The trees are amazing, with the leaves down.
I love the big, old white pines.
Moss and lichen on the forest floor.
Even the bucks use the trees, rubbing the ones down low.
Then, there are the Bent Tree Markers, which First Nations used to mark a route. I'm not sure these are those, but it is an interesting idea. They would anchor them on the ground, where they would grow like this.
The book based on Downes thirty year study is now available

I never knew about the bent tree markers. Interesting.
