Did you know great tree's roots can reach down and out as high as the branches reach out and up?
It takes many rings of cold winters and hot summers to grow roots like those.
Great trees are home to pill-bugs and squirrels and woodpeckers, a host of multitudes of creatures.
It takes many rings of cold winters and hot summers to hold so much life.
A great tree has seen seasons change, can read the patterns of the wind
A great tree knows when the weather will cool, knows when to lay down its vermillion green crown onto the forest floor.
A great tree knows when to burst its buds for joy of spring, of life, of the return of the sun to the sky.
It knows how to breathe the air and breathe it out cleaner.
