3 Reasons Why Adopting a Tree Is Underrated
No, I’m not talking about some official program. I’m talking about literally noticing a single tree, naming it, and declaring it “yours”. Nothing weird or complicated!
Notice The Trees for the Forest
Trees are everywhere (most places, not everywhere), so they all sort of blend in to the landscape. Picking out a single tree helps you notice a place and become more present on your walks or daily life.
Creates a Personal Landmark and Map for Wandering
Going out for a walk, run, ride, etc is great! But it’s surprisingly difficult to just randomly wander. Humans wants patterns and familiarity, so we generally stick to our default paths. Adopting a tree(s) create a destination so you can create different paths to your tree and wander more freely. Take the scenic route to your tree.
Having a Specific Tree Helps You Observe Seasonal Change
It’s easy to notice broad, seasonal change – Winter, Spring, Fall, Summer. But every individual plant experiences the seasons slightly differently. Picking out a single tree to observe is a gateway into learning more about nature and the seasons.
Go out, pick a tree, and adopt it!
