Decades later, a tree-stump forest still looks as Ernest Hemingway described it in his short story "Big Two-Hearted River." The trees were felled for lumber in the late 1800s, then the stumps charred black by brush fires.
The numerous lichens, however, mirror the area's resilience: Trout-rich rivers and stands of birch, aspen, and maple continue to thrive.

I just hope and pray that Mother Nature will find her way to replenish the land.
