Trees

Trees shape landscapes, shelter wildlife, mark the passing of seasons, and carry long histories of human relationship. This section explores individual tree species through their botanical characteristics, ecological roles, traditional and historical uses, cultural associations, folklore, symbolism, and the meanings people continue to find in them today.

Each entry offers a closer look at the tree as both a living organism and a presence within the wider human story—rooted in the land, shaped by time, and connected to the communities and ecosystems around it.
