While the trees hovered overhead, only the hikers walking on the floor of the Amazon Rainforest could observe the undergrowth growing close to the ground.

In order to see the stalk and trunk of the tall trees, the undergrowth was cut down so everyone could see every tree’s bark.

Undergrowth blanketed the Thompson National Forest’s ground since rain caused it to grow for months.

Since the forest ranger wanted a small area of the forest to be covered with undergrowth, he sporadically planted seeds in the soil so it would grow in a few years.

The undergrowth of Rhododendrons, ferns and wild violets plagued the wooded area of the gardener’s yard so she eventually cut it down to grow grass instead.
