Tree Facts
Trees appear still but they are constantly moving & being moved. Trees branches, leaves & even trunk can move with the wind, heavy rain & weather elements Trees also move internally, beginning with the roots & continuing with the cells & molecules inside the tree. If you stand next to a tree and observe closely you'll see the flexibility & endless rhythms of the branches, leaves & entire tree. Tree Basics - Seed, Root, Trunk, Bark, Branches, Leaves For most of history 4/5 of the earth's land mass was covered by trees. In North America, when settlers started to arrive in 1600 & 1700s there were so many trees that a squirrel could travel from Maine to Georgia with every touching the ground.* *Founding Fathers Today, about 1/2 of the earth's land mass is covered by trees. Thus, 30% more of the earth is void & unproductive in giving it's glorious nutrients as well as filtering pollution & dirty air. Tree Roots What are the roots?
