Complimentary Blueberry Juice

On a hike in Nopiming Provincial Park, the forest floor was covered in mosses and lichens. Likely because of this wet season we have been having, the forest floor ecosystem was lush and vibrant.

Something that is really noticeable in a forest like this is how many layers there are and how nearly total the sunlight capture is: the forest canopy, the understory, and moss-covered everything on the forest floor. The only places where light does not hit something photosynthesizing are the exposed ancient shield rocks…and even those are covered in lichens.

I love places like this because it really drives home that our soil comes from what came before it.

Soils are created by photosynthesizing life, and the symbiotic nature of what processes they enable.
