Check me out!

I have just been included in the 33rd Festival of the Trees!  Doesn't that sound lovely? In my mind it consists of a huge, old-growth evergreen forest, complete with ribbons and music and baubles and dancing, probably with totally anthropomorphized Disney cartoon critters.  In reality, it is a very well-put-together collection of articles relating to trees.  I'm not going to tell you which article of mine was included, but if you've been around for very long, I'm sure you can guess.  Whether you can guess or not, please go check out  Local Ecologist's  wonderful compendium of festival submissions.  Whether you're reading about a tree you've never heard of before, reminiscing about your favorite childhood hiding place under the canopy of a great big maple, or just looking at the beautiful pictures, I'm sure you will find something to enjoy!
