The Mystery of Trees was a cool experience and provided a way to see the Redwoods without extensive hiking. There were a few spottings of other people of color, and affirming head nods and greetings were noted (0.6%). There were no overt feelings of exclusion, although there were quite a few overzealous hellos and conversations. All in all, it was a good experience. Some issues to note, a store area dedicated to the Natives of the Land, “Indian Store” and a display in the park that showcased “little people” as the reason for Spanish Moss in the forests (Paul Bunyan). There was a Brotherhood tree that was noted to be a tree for all creeds, colors, and races which created an opportunity for us to create a humorous dialogue around a “woke” tree, B.C. (before color 😀).
