cliff cedar

Amazing how these trees survive growing on the cliff face - with roots implanted into small cracks.

There is a recently discovered old growth forest consisting of ancient cedars (some 1300 years old) growing along the cliff faces of the Niagara Escarpment. This fascinating story is recounted in a recently published book called The Last Stand by Guelphites Larson and Kelly. Highly Recommended.
