“The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit”
Nelson Henderson
Woodlands are truly amazing places where trees dominate the landscape. They help shape and sustain life on our planet. Trees purify the air, capture carbon, regulate rainfall, store water, stabilise the soil and provide a home for many species.
Bursting with life, trees have developed intricate systems of communication and mutual support. They can share resources, defend against predators and even heal any damage to themselves. In the woods, there is endless variety of textures, sizes and shapes. As trees transform through the seasons, there is a explosion of vibrant colours.
Woodlands are awe-inspiring places. This is the place where fairytales were imagined. A place that embodies the balance and harmony of nature. Where there are ample opportunities to slow down, to pause and reflect under a canopy of trees.
As you marvel at the graceful beauty of woodlands, remember our fates are intertwined.
