Last night, just before full darkness, I was walking through the woods around our home in rural western Washington state and quite suddenly I'm looking at a surprised black bear. It was perhaps 4 meters away and immediately stood up and started huffing. I shouted at it and calmly walked away. We don't live in a true old-growth forest, but it's pretty close. There are definitely many hundred year old trees. We manage our five acres very, very minimally, and we're actively re-foresting most of the ~1ac of yards that were mowed prior to us moving here in 2020. As another commenter said, this is the most beautiful natural environment I've ever seen, and we're extremely grateful that this has become our forever home. |
