A 30 minute video. 

This is on my top 10 list.  For all movies, books, whatever.

The sound is a little mucked up.  Not too bad.

This is a great video.  Very inspiring!  I want to go plant trees everywhere now.  Luckily, I've already got 10 coming to me from arborday.com from my membership renewal!  I can't wait to get these into the ground now!  I wish I had more than 10 coming (though with my luck the ground will freeze by the time I get them with the crazy weather around here!

Good find!

You can buy tree seed.  How much space do you have?

Its a great story, unfortunately fiction but inspiring.

Nordic PmC are doing a 10,000 tree project  http://www.permaculture.org.uk/upload/docs/10000Trees.doc   for their document.

I get a bit worried when people are talking about planting trees when maybe its forests, orchards, woods etc we should be planting??

Fiction based on a true account. 

Forest  - isn't that what was accomplished in the vid?

This is the story that inspired me to start learning about forest restoration, I'm glad it's getting around.  Does anyone know any good resources on tree propagation and planting for native tree species in the Cascadia region?
