Good bye 🙇🏽‍♂️ way to early …

The forest bonsai perhaps one of the easiest bonsai styles for viewers to understand, yet one of the most underrated in the bonsai world.
Creating a truly convincing forest is far from easy. Three elements are essential: different tree heights, varied trunk thicknesses, and thoughtful placement.

The trees need to feel different, yet belong together. And placement may be the most demanding part of all every tree has to contribute to the composition without making it feel artificial.

But when these three elements come together, something special happens: you stop seeing individual trees and start seeing a real forest in miniature.

This beautiful composition is from Luis Vallejo Bonsai Garden. The museum will soon reopen after its summer break, and we can’t wait to enjoy the beauty of the garden once again.

See you there!

It might be summer holidays, and yes, it’s Friday… but after 3 episodes of our juniper series, **we’re giving you some homework! 🌿📝**

Mario has covered 3 important factors to look for in a good juniper. Now it’s your turn!

Go take a closer look at your own trees and try to find all three. 👀🌳

Who knows… maybe you’ll discover something new in your junipers that you’ve never noticed before?

Let us know what you find! 💚

So I want to make a statement about the recent fires. 🔥

Every time I see another forest burning, I feel frustrated, sad, and honestly angry. Not at nature. Not at climate. But at human irresponsibility.
Lately I keep hearing the same argument: “We should clean the forests. Remove pine cones, dead branches, and organic material because that’s what causes fires.”

In my opinion, that’s simply is not going to work …

Forests are not gardens. They are living ecosystems that have existed for millions of years without human “cleaning.” Dead wood, leaves, and fallen trees are not waste they are part of the natural cycle. They create habitats, enrich the soil, and sustain biodiversity.
And let’s be honest… most of the areas that burn are remote, inaccessible mountains and wild valleys. Who is supposed to “clean” thousands of hectares of untouched nature?

The problem is not the forest.

The problem is us.

Almost every major fire I’ve seen or read about was caused by people: welding without protection, land clearing with fire, harvesting in extreme heat, discarded ci******es, hot vehicles in dry grass… or simply someone thinking, “Nothing will happen.”
Until it does.

These are not unavoidable natural disasters. They are preventable human mistakes caused by carelessness and a lack of responsibility.
We all work. We all have deadlines. But nothing is more important than protecting the environment we all depend on.

Now, about solutions.

I believe that when responsibility fails, restrictions become necessary.

Not because I like restrictions I strongly believe in freedom. I am a big fan of freedom !!!! But freedom only works with responsibility.

During periods of extreme fire risk, I believe there should be:

🚫 No BBQs.
🚫 No camping stoves.
🚫 No access to high risk forests and places
🚫 No risky outdoor work without strict safety rules.
And many more …

Some will say this limits freedom. Maybe. But I’d rather lose access to a forest for a few weeks than lose the forest forever.

Right now I’m travelling through France and I see many closed roads and “No Entry” signs. Am I disappointed? Of course. There are places I wanted to visit. But I completely understand why they’re closed.

I also carry a camping stove. I haven’t used it once. Not because I can’t, but because I don’t want even the smallest risk of starting a fire. I would never forgive myself if my comfort destroyed nature.

I’ve seen forests I know personally burn. Places I’ve walked, photographed, and admired reduced to ash because of human stupidity. It’s heartbreaking.

And in Spain and other places …. I see something even more worrying. People think forests simply grow back. But often they don’t. Once the trees are gone, the shade disappears, the soil dries out, and ecosystems slowly turn into scrubland. Desertification is real, and I can see it happening with my own eyes.

So yes ….. I’ll say it again.

If people cannot act responsibly, then access must be restricted.

Close forests and places when needed.

Delay dangerous work.

Protect nature before convenience or profit.

Because forests are not destroyed by pine cones or dead branches…..

They are destroyed by human irresponsibility.

And that is something we can still change …

and if nothing work above than penalize people in the hardest way possible …

So I want to make a statement about the recent fires. 🔥

All my thoughts go to one thing: irresponsible and stupid people living on this planet.

Many people keep saying that we should clean mountains and forests from organic matter like pine cones, dead branches, old logs, and so on to protect them from fire. In my opinion, that’s just complete nonsense…
The places that have recently burned are often completely inaccessible. Huge areas without roads or any easy way to get there. So please keep those ideas about “cleaning the forests” to yourselves …
I have traveled through many of these places, and believe me, it is not nature, animals, or the forest itself that is causing these disasters. Almost every major fire is related to stupid and I repeat, stupid !!! people who have no idea how to live responsibly together on this planet.

One fire starts because someone is welding. Yes, it’s your job but have a large fire extinguisher nearby and another person supervising the work.
Another starts because an electric car catches fire. Make it mandatory for every owner to carry a proper fire extinguisher and know how to use it.
Another starts because a farmer burns vegetation to clean a field.
Another because someone harvests or cuts dry vegetation during the hottest hours of the day.
Again and again, these fires are caused by irresponsible people thinking only about their own convenience and profit.
We all work. We all make money from what we do. But responsibility comes first.

Now let’s talk about solutions.
They’re actually very simple, whether people like them or not and even if they affect me personally.
If we don’t know how to behave, then prohibition is the only solution. Not even more education, because honestly, society seems to be getting less and less responsible.
● No BBQs during the hottest months. We don’t need grilled meat.
● No access to national parks or high risk areas during extreme fire danger.
● No camping gas stoves in the hottest season. Food is available everywhere you don’t need to cook in the forest.
● No entering forests or natural areas during certain seasons or certain hours.
● No dangerous outdoor work during periods of extreme heat.
And many more …

Right now we are traveling through France, and there are barriers and signs everywhere saying “No Entry.” Am I disappointed that I can’t visit some places I had planned to see? Of course.
But I completely understand the reason.
I have a camping gas stove with me, and I haven’t taken it out even once. Why? Because I would be devastated if I accidentally started a fire. I could never forgive myself if I caused a wildfire and wasn’t able to stop it in time even though I always carry a fire extinguisher and water with me.

Like it or not, this is not about freedom.
I’m one of the biggest supporters of personal freedom !!! But sometimes the only way to protect our environment is to temporarily forbid access and restrict certain activities during the hottest season.
If I can’t visit a place today but it will still exist for me to visit next year, I’ll gladly accept that.
I’d rather wait than watch it burn to the ground.
If work has to be delayed by a few days because conditions are too dangerous, then so be it. Nothing terrible will happen.
Seeing the recent fires around places where I live, places I have visited many times, completely destroyed because of human carelessness has made me feel sick and hopeless. I wanted to help, but the authorities understandably don’t allow ordinary people into active fire zones.
And that is heartbreaking.
Here in Spain, once a forest burns, it may take decades to recover. In many places, it never returns to what it once was. Once the large trees that provide shade are gone, only shrubs and dry vegetation can survive the intense heat and drought.
Spain is slowly becoming more desert like, and I can see it happening with my own eyes. Desertification is real.
So I will say it again:
If people don’t know how to behave, then restrict them !!!
Close the areas !!!
Forbid access !!!
Forbid dangerous work during extreme conditions !!!
Because otherwise, our beautiful planet will continue losing incredible places not because of nature, but because of human irresponsibility and stupidity , amen 🙏🏻
