The largest tree species in the Pacific Northwest and the longest-living!🌲💫 The Western Red Cedar, also called the Giant Arborvitae, towering up to 200 feet tall with trunk diameters exceeding 13 feet.🤯 This ancient giant has stood the test of time, weathering storms, fires, and even volcanic eruptions.⛈️🌋 The largest Western Red Cedar ever recorded is the Cheewhat Giant in Canada, which measures a staggering 241 feet tall and over 20 feet in diameter, though much of it is now unalived. We stumbled upon this hidden tree in this video off the beaten path and we think it just might break the record or come pretty dang close!😏 Some of the largest Western Red Cedars weigh over 20,000 pounds, and their vast canopies create microclimates that shelter countless species of plants and animals. These trees play a vital role in the ecosystem, supporting lichens, mosses, and even amphibians that thrive in their moist, shaded environment.🌿 Their wood is naturally resistant to rot and decay, making it one of the most durable materials for construction. Western Red Cedar trees produce a natural oil that acts as an antifungal and insect repellent, which is why their wood lasts for centuries!♻️ Known as the “Tree of Life,” the Western Red Cedar was a cornerstone of survival for Indigenous peoples. Its bark was skillfully woven into mats, ropes, clothing, and even diapers, while its wood was used for longhouses, canoes, and totem poles. Medicinally, cedar leaves and bark were used to treat wounds, colds, and fevers. Tribes believed the cedar had a soul, and harvesting it was often accompanied by ceremonies of gratitude and reverence.✨️ Standing in the shadow of this ancient giant, you can feel its story etched into the rings of time.⏳️ #westernredcedar #redcedar #arborvitae #ancienttree #ancienttrees #gianttree #gianttrees #hugetree #hugetrees #forest #forests #forestcore #forestlovers #forestlover #forestlife #foresttherapy #foresttherapyguide #forestmagic #forestfacts #natureeducation #natureeducator #naturalist #naturalista #indigenous #ecofacts #ecofriendly #ecosystem #pnw #pacificnorthwest #offthebeatenpath

❄️ How to Avoid Freezing... According to a Frog! 🐸 Follower topic request! Ever heard of a frog that survives freezing temperatures without turning into a popsicle? Meet the Wood Frog! These amazing amphibians pack their cells with glucose (a simple sugar) to prevent ice crystals from forming inside. This sugary shield works just like the salt we sprinkle on roads to melt ice, lowering the freezing point. When the deep freeze hits, their metabolism slows down, and they nestle under forest leaves, freezing solid. 🥶 But as soon as it warms up, their blood starts pumping, their muscles thaw, and they’re ready to hop back into life! Nature’s own antifreeze, right inside a frog! How do you handle the cold? 🧣 👉 Follow for more wild and wonderful nature facts! #Naturalist #NatureEducation #WoodFrog #WildlifeSurvival #WinterAdaptations #FrozenButAlive #AnimalAdaptations #FrogFacts #ColdWeatherNature #NatureScience #WildlifeWonders #NatureEducation #OutdoorExploration #WildlifeBiology #ExploreNature #NatureLovers #BackyardNature

Think bears hibernate? 🐻 Think again! Share this with your bear loving friends and follow along for more nature myths busted and wildlife wonders uncovered! 🌟 Bears actually enter torpor, not true hibernation. While hibernators like chipmunks and woodchucks chill to near-freezing, bears just cool down a bit to conserve energy and can wake up more easily if food or danger comes knocking. 🐾❄️ Fun fact: It takes a ton of energy to reheat a hibernating body, so bigger animals like raccoons and skunks also opt for torpor. Next time someone says bears hibernate, you can drop some serious nature knowledge! 🌿📚 Need a little torpor time yourself? 😴 #NatureFacts #AnimalBehavior #LearnWithUs #NatureEducation #Naturalist #NatureEducation #WinterAdaptations #FrozenButAlive #AnimalAdaptations #FrogFacts #ColdWeatherNature #NatureScience #WildlifeWonders #OutdoorExploration #WildlifeBiology #ExploreNature #NatureLovers #BackyardNature #hibernating #bearlovers

Lichen breathes for all of us. It absorbs everything in the air—good or bad—making it a natural indicator of air quality. Spot a healthy lichen patch? Chances are you’re in an area with clean air! 💨🌱 These amazing organisms aren’t just plants—they’re a symbiotic blend of fungi and algae (or cyanobacteria) working together. Think of it as nature’s ultimate collaboration! 🤝 Lichen grows at an incredibly slow pace, sometimes just a few millimeters per year. Some lichens are over 8,000 years old, making them some of Earth’s oldest living organisms! 🕰🌍 They’re not just cool to look at—lichen plays a key role in ecosystems by breaking down rocks into soil, and feeding wildlife. Take a closer look next time you’re outdoors—lichen is proof of the interconnected magic of nature. Take a deep breath the next time you’re in a lichen covered forest and remind how incredibly clean it tastes. Shop our latest collection link in bio 🔗. #ParksProject #NatureEducation #NationalParks

Here’s why it is essential:👇 💧Water Source: Fog delivers moisture directly to the forest canopy and the soil, especially during dry periods or seasons with limited rainfall. Plants and trees absorb this moisture through their leaves. 🧊Cooling Effect: Fog helps to moderate temperatures by reducing solar radiation during the day and retaining heat at night. This stable microclimate supports the growth of moisture-loving plants and prevents extreme temperature fluctuations. 🌿Biodiversity: Fog creates an ideal environment for moisture-dependent species, such as mosses, lichens, ferns, and epiphytes. These plants thrive in the humid conditions fog provides and play a critical role in the ecosystem. 🐾Wildlife Dependence: Many animals, such as amphibians and certain insects, rely on the damp and cool environment sustained by fog for survival. 🌬Atmospheric Nutrients: Fog carries nutrients from the atmosphere, including nitrogen and sulfur compounds, which are deposited on leaves and soil. These nutrients support plant growth and contribute to the forest's productivity. ♻️Decomposition: The constant moisture promotes the decomposition of organic matter on the forest floor, enriching the soil with nutrients essential for plant health. 🔥Fire Prevention: The moisture from fog helps maintain a damp environment, reducing the risk and spread of wildfires. Without fog, these ecosystems would lose an essential component of their water cycle and microclimate stability, leading to reduced biodiversity, impaired growth of moisture-dependent species, and increased vulnerability to environmental stressors.⛈️ Have you ever experienced the magic of a foggy rainforest?🌬✨️ Share this with a fellow foggy forest lover!🌲💨🤗 #fog #foggy #foggyforest #foggyday #foggydays #foggymorning #foggyweather #foggynight #foggymoody #foggylandscape #foggytrees #foggymountains #foggyphotography #foggyview #foggyvibes #natureeducation #naturefacts #naturemagic #nature #natureknowsbest #ecosystem #biodiversity #climate #microclimate #moody #moodyweather #naturevibes #pnw #pnwonderland #watercycle

National Coyote Month: Sure! Here’s the revised post with hashtags: Killing coyotes to control their population actually backfires because of their clever survival strategies. When coyotes howl at night, they’re doing a headcount. If the group is small, they interpret that as a need to reproduce more, leading to larger litters and more breeding pairs. Essentially, fewer coyotes trigger an overpopulation response. So, the more you kill, the more they rebound—like nature’s version of hitting “refresh.” Instead of trying to outsmart them with lethal control (which doesn’t work), coexist by securing trash, protecting pets, and letting these adaptable survivors do their thing at a manageable level. #Coyotes #WildlifeFacts #CoyoteHowls #CoexistWithWildlife #WildlifeConservation #PredatorControl #EcoFacts #WildlifeEducation #NatureLovers #AnimalBehavior #HumaneWildlifeManagement #WildlifeRehab #KeepWildlifeWild #LivingWithCoyotes #Coexistence #CoyotesOfInstagram #WildlifePhotography #NatureEducation #AnimalLovers #EcoFriendly

Touching moss isn’t just soothing—it’s science🌿😉 Moss isn’t just a soft, green carpet of nature; it’s a portal to grounding and sensory play.💫 When you run your fingers over its lush surface, you activate tactile receptors in your skin that help reduce stress and bring you into the present moment. It helps regulate your nervous system, offering a natural way to restore balance and calm in a chaotic world. This simple act can lower cortisol levels, calm your mind, and reconnect you to the natural world in the most soothing way.✨️ Being mindful, especially in a natural environment, helps your body switch from a sympathetic state (fight-or-flight) to a parasympathetic state (rest-and-digest). Your present attention to the natural world signals to your body that there are no perceived incoming threats. This shift enables you to feel more calm, grounded, and at peace.🥰 In today’s fast-paced world, moss offers a refreshing invitation to slow down. Its intricate textures and vibrant greens create a mindful experience that’s as calming to your mind as it is to your body. Incorporating sensory experiences like this—touching, smelling, and admiring moss—offers a mindful break from the overstimulation of daily life. It’s nature’s way of saying, "Slow down and feel."🌱💚 So next time you’re outdoors, don’t just touch grass—touch moss instead.😉 Let it remind you that the world is full of small, powerful joys waiting to be felt. By savoring the softness of moss, you can find magic in each moment and romanticize your life, seeing beauty in the simple, everyday things.💕 Do you have a favorite mossy spot you love to visit?
