We came across several healthy ancient rooted beings while descending and ascending the headwaters of Fairy Creek yesterday like this that were providing a home for their bear allies.

Choosing to alter root morphology to create an ideal space for four legged soil enriching forest protectors is an exquisite example of arboreal intelligence.

Giving a nursery to the beings that will descend the mountain, eat lots of salmon and carry the ocean minerals (in salmon bones) back up to the trees and deposit them.

Now that is foresight and an effective symbiotic relationship.
