The bridge text "It started with the stories we were told" is almost invisible because it is a muted green color sitting on top of the forest image which is also green. Change the bridge text color to the same cream/off-white color used for the main title text. It needs high contrast against the dark forest background to actually be readable.
There is still a hard horizontal line where the forest hero image ends and the solid green content section begins. The bottom of the hero needs a CSS gradient overlay that goes from transparent at the top to the exact background color of the next section at the bottom. Something like: background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 0%, [exact bg color of next section] 100%). This gradient should cover the bottom 30-40% of the hero section so the image dissolves smoothly into the content below. There should be zero visible seam.

The gradient overlay on the hero is fading to the wrong color. Look at the actual background color of the section immediately below the hero (inspect it and get the exact hex value). The gradient at the bottom of the hero MUST fade to that exact color. Right now it looks like it is fading to a lighter or different green than what the next section uses, which creates a visible band.
Here is exactly what the hero section needs:
The hero should have a pseudo-element overlay with: background: linear-gradient(to bottom, rgba(0,0,0,0) 0%, rgba(0,0,0,0) 50%, [EXACT next section bg color] 100%). The key is that the bottom 50% gradually darkens into the next section's color.
The bridge text "It started with the stories we were told" needs to be cream/off-white (#f5f0e8), not green. It is still too close to the background color to read comfortably.
There should be ZERO gap or padding between the bottom of the hero and the top of the next section. Set margin: 0 and padding: 0 on both the bottom of the hero container and the top of the next section. The gradient handles the transition, we do not need any spacing creating a visible seam.
Remove any border, box-shadow, or visual separator between the hero and the next section.
The goal is: forest image at top, gradually darkens downward, bridge text appears in cream white as the forest fades, then it seamlessly becomes the solid background of the content section below. One continuous flow, no lines, no bands, no seams.
