Dragon fly, wren, fireweed, lupine, sequoia, butterfly... Are these names of forest-dependant species? Yes, in a manner of speaking...They are the arboreal dwellers of the Homo sapiens variety who are standing--and sitting--strong to defend the remaining old growth trees. And then there are the names they have given their host trees: Luna, Mariah, Moment, Marvelous, Mesmerize, Jezebel, Jerry... A tree named Jerry?! It's not for me to second-guess the inter-species relationships that develop. Those bonds are deep and give strength to those riding out 50-mph winds and torrential rains under flimsy tarps on a 4-ft. by 6-ft. platform. (See Remedy's story in this issue and Julia Butterfly's stories of living in Luna).
