Ken does a lot of the evening programs throughout Wilderness Wildlife Week and this one is a regular theme.  Ken reviews his notes from the prior year and shares lessons from the previous year along with the supporting photos.

Tonight’s highlights:

Ken’s story of photographing Giant Sequoia trees in the Sierra Nevada when he realized he was near a forest fire.  When he found the fire, the forest service was already there.  Of course Ken wanted to help and was quite excited.  The forester didn’t seem to be in too big of a hurry, and explained to Ken that the Sequoias contain a lot of tannin, which makes them much more resistant to fire.  Also, the seed pods are extremely difficult to crack, but fire cracks them right open.

He also quoted Vance Havner to describe the beaver and its diligence.  I’ll be pursuing a few of his writings in the coming months.
