The Resilience of Nature, But Not Always Welcome

Nature's resilience is a profound and consistent theme, showcasing its remarkable ability to endure and thrive in the face of adversity. Consider the powerful imagery of trees in a storm: they don't rigidly resist the immense force of the wind, but rather bend and sway, demonstrating their inherent flexibility that prevents them from breaking.

This incredible adaptability is mirrored in the continuous cycle of life found throughout the natural world. From the smallest organisms to the grandest ancient forests, there's a perpetual dance of birth, growth, decay, and renewal. Plants sprout, mature, and eventually return their nutrients to the soil.

At this time of year we are in a constant battle against natures resilience in our field. While some areas we allow to grow more wild, others we try to keep under control. This is where we are constantly at odds with the resilience of fern. As soon are we've cut it down it's springing back up again creating the yearly summertime cycle of cut and growth, cut and growth.
