The forest floor is the green underbelly of the wilderness. Layered with bark, branches, leaves, seeds, pods and other organic materials, this richly textured, natural mulch supports a web of plant and animal life. Under this nourishing cover, bacteria and other microscopic organisms thrive, breaking the layers down into soil. During the rainy season, moisture speeds the decomposition process, as water-retaining mosses and plants spread and water-loving animals such as snails and earthworms multiply. By staying on established trails, you help preserve sensitive areas like the forest floor, helping us KEEP IT WILD.
