Dear friends of the hermitage,
I came across a news article in the HuffPost today from two years ago, but with some very new information to me. Although i and we are intimately involved with the regrowing of several hundred acres of redwood forest, and we think about our off-grid hermitage as being something wonderful for the environment, i never knew about this!
According to the article, redwood forests such as ours "may also be an unparalleled tool in fighting global warming" -- how awesome is that 😊 .
"Redwood and Climate Change Initiative...[r]esearchers found...that redwood forests can store up to three times more carbon than non-redwood forests worldwide."
I leave you with this photo from the last day of my secluded retreat time at the hermitage, heart brimming with gratitude to all, and for all things.

mix of sun and rain showers, and a rainbow stretching the whole length of the canyon
with much mettā,
Ayyā Tathālokā
