The jack pine adapts and thrives wherever it can on the shores of Red Lake.
The abundant Jack Pine seen all around Red Lake is a lesson in determination, adapting and thriving. You can see what we are talking about in this photo Brian captured on the shore near camp. See the root growing off to the right of the tree? Even defying the laws of gravity and the usual need for nutritional soil, it grows in the cracks or wherever it can.
As we have all seen, life has been upside down and uncertain lately. Look to the wise Jack Pine for hope and adaptation to a challenging world. We too are determined to adapt and thrive in 2021!
