Modern wildfires burn hot, scorching soil and making it hard for the forest to regrow on its own. Luckily, there's a lot humans can do to help. Check out this story by @jillbergman.bsky.social to learn more about these fires and how we can care for the forests in after they burn.

There is a place where mist rises to soften rocky peaks, where frogs sing among cattails, and summer flowers soak up the morning dew. Full poem in the alt text. #poem #poetry #collage #illustration #printmaking #linocut #linocutcollage #handlettering

Linocut collage of a moose in the mountains with this handwritten poem:

There is a place where mist rises to soften rocky peaks,
where frogs sing among cattails,
and summer flowers soak up the morning dew.

There is a place where moose dine on lily pads,
where songbirds trill from bushes,
and evergreens sway in the mountain wind.

This is the place where my soul will go when it leaves my body.
