In today's show we cover some of the amazing gifts and benefits that trees can provide to your homestead and larger landscape, including:

• Trees are the ultimate alchemists - creating stored sunlight
• Trees are energy translators - between the surface world and the subsurface world
• Trees are hydraulic engineers - they bank water for hard times
• Trees as screens for different sector energies - water, wind, sun
• Trees are free air conditioners!
• Trees are rain-bringers
• Tree provide us with shelter and infinitely renewable fuel
• Trees provide us with food AND medicine
• Trees improve pasture health
• Trees are a TAX-OBSCURED investment
• ...and more!

I hope that today's show will get you thinking about the power of trees in new ways, and why, if we want to create a world worth inheriting, we all need to be planting trees. Trees are the ultimately living legacy we can leave to those that will inherit this earth after us, and they are one of the best ways to say "I love you" to your future descendants whom you will never meet but already love.
