As she looked up at the heights of the trees, twenty-something Fiona grieved. Each year of mounting temperatures meant that it was unlikely that her future grandchildren would witness the beauty of the redwoods that towered over her.
She love walking in the forests because the sheer height of the trees made her feel small and her problems seem small, as well. It was a terrible thought, but the forests are prone to catch fire, as the heat and droughts continue. She still hoped that measures to curtail climate change would be implemented, to save the trees and the planet.

Regina, it may console you to know that redwood trees actually need fire to propagate. The oldest are 3,000 years old and have lived through many fires.

That does console me. I knew fire could be helpful but seeing the devastation from today’s fires made me wonder if the redwoods would survive. So, thank you.
