A walk through the forest on a sunny day

The forest is where I go to unwind, relax, and reflect. Not just any forest mind you, but the forests of my youth. My parents were always telling me about the old family homesteads deep in the woods and how they would spend hours exploring the dense green canopy.

We'd hike through the tall grasses, smell the fresh air, see what kind of wildlife we could spot, and even fish for a few minutes in the stream nearby. I'll never forget the time I caught a catfish while fishing with my dad before he went back to work at his office job. He was only 9 years old at the time and still remembered the exact moment he got that first bite out of his rod. That memory stuck with me for a long time.

I've been drawn to these wooded areas ever since. My passion for nature has led me to dedicate myself to the science behind growing trees and crops and now I'm sharing with you some of the knowledge I have acquired over the years.
