About Trees

Each generation takes the earth as trustees.

We ought to bequeath to posterity as many forests

and orchards as we have exhausted and consumed.

J. Sterling Morton

The clearest way into the universe is through a forest wilderness.
John Muir

A grove of giant redwoods or sequoias should be kept
just as we keep a great or beautiful cathedral.

Theodore Roosevelt

In some mysterious way woods have never seemed to me to be static things.  In physical terms, I move through them; yet in metaphysical ones, they seem to move through me.  
John Fowles

God is the experience of looking at a tree and saying, "Ah!"

 Joseph Campbell

Going to the woods is going home.
John Muir

The forest is not merely an expression or representation of sacredness, nor a place to invoke the sacred; the forest is sacredness itself.

Richard Nelson

My roots are in the depths of the woods.   
Galle

I have always found thick woods a little intimidating, for they are so secret and enclosed.  You may seem alone but you are not, for there are always eyes watching you.  All the wildlife of the woods, the insects, birds, and animals, are well aware of your presence no matter how softly you may tread, and they follow your every move although you cannot see them.
Thalassa Cruso

The cultivation of trees is the cultivation of the good,
the beautiful and the ennobling in man. 
J. Sterling Morton

The forest is a peculiar organism of unlimited kindness and benevolence that makes no demands for its sustenance and extends generously the products of its life and activity; it affords protection to all beings.Buddhist Sutra

Reforesting the earth is possible, given a human touch.
Sandra Postel and Lori Heise

Acts of creation are ordinarily reserved for gods and poets.
To plant a pine, one need only own a shovel.
Aldo Leopold

What we are doing to the forests of the world is but a mirror reflection of what we are doing to ourselves and to one another.
Gandhi

The best friend of earth of man is the tree. When we use the tree respectfully and economically, we have one of the greatest resources on the earth.

Frank Lloyd Wright

Trees make us sing and dance, make faces and give flower bouquets, trying to be loved.  Have you ever noticed that trees do everything
we do to get attention , except walk?
Alice Walker
