Regeneration


Here is a photo I took for my Master Naturalist capstone project. The photo is to demonstrate regeneration. In the foreground is the trunk of an old white oak surrounded by 10 year old oaks. Way in the back are some 100+ year old oaks. The fallen oak tree is like a nurse tree for the smaller oaks - enriching the soil in it's decomposition.
