The forest being “planted” on the outside of the north wall recently took a step backwards when one of the biggest “redwoods” went allez oops. Our system for securing the big trees is under review and the 200 footer will soon be replanted. In the mean time I have planted a whole bunch of smaller redwoods along and on the fence created by club member Joe Green. Thickening the “forest” creates a neat visual effect as these two pics show.

This pic shows how the forest darkens the diorama – look through the portal and you will see that it’s actually a nice day
