In June I hiked into the Boulder Creek Wilderness with three of the artists who will be showing with me in the Wilderness 50 show. We were focused on the burned over forest and examining the regeneration that has occurred since the wildfires of 1996 and 2008. We found much to be glad about. Among the standing charred trees were many many young trees. Native wildflowers were varied and abundant, and the extravantly white and lavender blooming ceanothus were a shoulder high cloud in the black stemmed understory. The forest was very much alive and thriving.
