The Elliott State Forest
If you’ve experienced the pleasure of walking through
quiet groves of trees--your footsteps cushioned by soft
moss, watching sunlight filter through the branches
casting light and shadow, you know the peace and joy
it brings. But, add the sound of chainsaws echoing
through the hills, red spray paint on tree trunks
marking timber sale boundaries, orange and black
project notices listing names like Kelly Slim Cougar or
Flying Fish, and the peace and joy slip away.
