A 'ocean of trees', dependent upon shrinking groundwater in a warming climate. No mention of that in this puff piece.
GONE IN A GENERATION. Across America, climate change is already disrupting lives. (Washington Post, 9/26/2019)
One day in March, the river was almost entirely dry near Harper’s orchard. One day in September, it was running full, swelled by the release of water from the reservoir upstream. The levels ebb and flow each year; what has been steady is the persistence of overall drought.
In a warming climate, Harper worries that this valley may not be able to sustain the thirsty orchards that produce a healthy and lucrative pecan crop. She and her fellow farmers have been pumping more water from underground.
