A newly planted lodgepole pine seedling grows in the shadow of a large cut tree trunk from a past timber harvest on the Gunnison Ranger District, June 11, 2026. Even after harvest, fallen wood and dead tree trunks continue to shape the landscape, providing natural microclimate shade that helps protect young seedlings from the intense high-elevation sun as the next generation of forest takes hold.
