Interesting Facts

Old-growth forests like those depicted can be over 200 years old and provide critical habitats for numerous species.

Fog forms when warm, moist air cools rapidly, causing water vapor to condense into tiny droplets, creating an eerie, dense mist.

Stairways in forests are often remnants of old paths used by settlers or indigenous peoples for travel and trade.
