Metasequoia Forests of North Dakota

In Western North Dakota we check out the local plants of the rolling hills and Buttes as we start to less of the cast of Western species and more of the members of the Midwestern prairie flora. Everywhere there are massive stumps of 60 million year old #Metasequoia trees eroding out of a particular layer in the otherwise grey and beige hillsides of some of the buttes and canyon walls.

Your contributions support this content. It sounds clichéd, but it's true. Whether it's travel expenses, vehicle repair, or medical costs for urushiol poisoning (or rockfalls, bee-stings, hand slices, toxic sap, etc), your financial support allows this content to continue so the beauty of Earth's flora can be made accessible to the rest of us in the degenerate public. At a time when so much is disappearing beneath the human footprint, CPBBD is willing to do whatever it takes to document these plant species and the ecological communities they are a part of before they're gone for good.
