Much as I enjoy (ahem) “true” scary stories, I gotta shake my head at a recent trend in the narratives.
That being people making “offerings” to the forest prior to camping or staying at a cabin.
Said offering typically in the form of a bouquet or floral wreath.
You’re giving the forest a bunch of dead flowers then wonder why something scratches at the door all night? Might as well put a bunch of amputated toes in a box and call it a Valentine.
I do think national parks and such should capitalize on this practice, if they aren’t already. Let people buy saplings of approved tree species and permit people to plant them for a small donation. Set aside certain areas for planting. Maybe coordinate with a local nursery and they could include planting instructions (sun exposure, clearance, depth, etc). Call it a Reforestation Drive or something.
That’d be a MUCH better offering for those so inclined. Everyone else can just feel good all over for having planted a tree.
