Show Notes

The first forests we visit in this series are the lowland forests around the Salish Sea, home of Douglas firs, western hemlocks, and western red cedars - and the densest concentration of people in the Northwest. Conifer forests are a big part of what has drawn people to the area for millenia and are central to local art and culture. This episode explores just how these trees define a region and how we, in turn, define them.
