A beech forest remains in Naganoyama Green Park, located in Kano, Shunan City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. The beech forest is tall and has low bamboos underneath. I like this place because it feels airy despite being a forest. The species of trees in a forest vary depending on its stage of development. A beech forest is one of those forests that are in the polar phase, which is a stable state (equilibrium state) that forests at higher elevations reach. There are also areas that ha

It was just a small valley, so there were no cedars planted and some light would shine through. A water strider rests on a leaf by the side of the cana
