The Man Who Planted Trees in a Burn Scar

That's me, in my latest commentary for NPR. WRITTEN, ILLUSTRATED, and EVEN SPOKEN by PETER MOORE

It has been a rough week, here in Northern Colorado. A day after my wife and I emerged from Big Thompson Canyon, after a delirious weekend in the mountains, three wildfires broke out and torched the landscape we’d been enjoying. So it turned out that my latest commentary for NPR had a bit of a prophetic tone, as I looked to landscape reclamation at the same time more acres were about to be scorched. And now we have the smoky skies that go along with that. Maybe Dr. Seuss Could help?
