WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE FOREST?

Sometimes a seemingly perfectly healthy tree can begin to die & then a perfectly damaged tree survives; This is one example I saw the other week off the side of the road. This maple tree had been damaged by livestock and burned near its base and yet it holds on. 

This tree seemed to be completely burned at its base

May the forest be with you,
