Hi and welcome to Librivox. Your reading is great there are just some edits needed please. If you are using Audacity you can do the following.

The volume is 83dB which is too low. We aim for between 86-92 dB but ideally we would like it to be at 89 dB.
In Audacity you will also find the option to amplify under 'effects'.
How to amplify in Audacity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_z607awyLw
If you like you can use the checker tool to verify volume and other settings.

Please could you carry out the edits then upload the file using the same file name. Please post your edited version in the Listeners and Editors thread

If you need any more help please just ask. Thanks

Many thanks, Michele, for bringing volume 082 to a conclusion with this timeless conservation essay by John Muir! :D

"No doubt these trees would make good lumber after passing through a sawmill, as George Washington after passing through the hands of a French Cook would have made good food. But both for Washington and the tree that bears his name higher uses have been found." John Muir, Save the Redwoods.

PL OK.

Volume 082 is FULL. Many thanks to all who contributed to this fascinating, eclectic group of readings! :D

Volume 083 is open. Look for it in the "Readers Wanted: Short Works (Poetry & Prose)" thread.
