It grows so slowly that disturbing it undoes decades of growth, and since it takes hundreds of years to convert rock to soil, messing with the moss is well, first, just upsetting the natural beauty, but also robs future generations of the land for just a few moments of “huh, neat.” Our tour guide was pretty reverent when he talked about the role that moss plays.

Also they’ll fine you and maybe bar you from returning.

Thanks! I'm in the PNW and moss grows heckin fast over here. We have a constant battle against it in our driveway, and on our roof.
