Much work to try to keep some of it as it is forever, just so the things you mentioned don't happen. We are fortunate to have many miles of coastal rainforests, most protected. Both in Washington State and in British Columbia.RGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02017190779860810318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-92147738708111112292008-09-08T00:20:00.000+01:002008-09-08T00:20:00.000+01:00These are beautiful photos except only the first o...These are beautiful photos except only the first one enlarged - the rest would not for some reason.
