Did He Mean Bonsai?
God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand tempests and floods. But he cannot save them from fools.

Fools
Candy, My first thought was that the fools are those who destroy whole forests for the few selected trees for lumber as well as for cattles grazing.
I think that destroys more trees than all bonsai enthusiasts together could ever do. Hector Quote:

Actually,
If you look at the big time collectors (those who frequent National Forests with the appropriate permits, tags, etc) they will say that the areas they collect from are frequently destroyed later on in order to enhance the ability of lumber quality trees to succeed. John |

The complete quote includeds "God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand tempests and floods. But he cannot save them from fools... Only Uncle Sam can do that." Which proves that Muir was, indeed, an Optimist.
