Miscellaneous Can I please persuade you

@PigSquealer a very worthy cause to support. They are truly magnificent animals.
Interesting to read the impact on the beaver colonies on reintroduction to Yellowstone.

We often don't appreciate the impact an imbalance in species can have.

It amazed me to learn how important ancient trees are to insect life, certain Beatles only live in/on ancient trees. Then there will be an upwards impact on other species...

Love the typo.
Norwegian wood?

No, bark beetles. 🪲

Don’t they usually inhabit cornus species?

Love the typo.

😂😂 Oops that's autocorrect as I definitely didn't type cap b. Neither did I check before posting. Tempting to edit but I'll leave for the humour 😁

I’ve never known a Beatle to bark, but there was this trumpet player….

BTW, donated. Further you have made me search for similar organizations to support redwood trees here in California and Oregon. In addition to the ecosystems that these leviathans of the plant world support, they are alive and their spirit is both calming and profound.

For those that know redwoods, the Save the Redwoods League is very effective, and has been in existence for more than 100 years. That pales in comparison to the age of giant Sequoias, but the importance of these trees for life on every plane cannot be underestimated.

Thank you, it is very much appreciated and will be match funded 😄

Campaign is going well. We are at 42% of our target.

Big thank you to anyone who has donated. 5 more days to go. If you can spare the cost of a coffee it will help as it will attract match funding to double it. 😁

As a fellow Californian I know all these areas. Very worthy of supporting.

Chipped in a bit of the coffee fund. Sounds like a worthy cause indeed. 🙂

Donation made. An area close to my heart - I'm an active supporter and member of three organisations which have similar aims.

@skeller047 @PigSquealer we have a number of very large Sequoias in the area where I live, planted from seed by Victorian plant hunters as specimens, in parks and gardens. Magnificent trees.
