Cluster is a coloring book about how forces of nature can cause stands of trees to fall during a storm event.  Sometimes, a small group of trees fall because a larger one blows down and takes the smaller trees with it.  Sometimes, a micro-burst of wind whips around and causes clusters of trees to twirl about until their standing fails. While blowdown events have always been with us, we are seeing them occur with greater frequency as powerful storms become more common.  

However, unsettling as blowdown events are, they can provide positive new life to the forest ecosystem.  The events create new openings in the tree canopy, allowing sunlight to reach the forest floor.  Small trees, biding their time in the understory, burst upwards toward full maturity; and, the fallen trees decompose and rot, retuning life to the soil.
