Let's seek inspiration among the trees!

In the shadow of these motionless giants, so strange and so familiar, which shelter and support everything that lives on Earth: starting with us humans, dependent on their mere presence and their majestic beauty.

How can we be inspired by trees?

Let us be touched by the grace of trees in every sense of the word: poetically emotionally and also scientifically.
