Geocache Description:


quote:

"When we plant trees, we plant the seeds of peace and seeds of hope." Prof Wangari Maathai

"The best friend of earth of man is the tree. When we use the tree respectfully and economically, we have one of the greatest resources on the earth." -- Frank Lloyd Wright

"A man doesn't plant a tree for himself. He plants it for posterity." Alexander Smith

"A tree is beautiful, but what's more, it has a right to life; like water, the sun and the stars, it is essential. Life on earth is inconceivable without trees. Forests create climate, climate influences peoples' character, and so on and so forth. There can be neither civilization nor happiness if forests crash down under the axe, if the climate is harsh and severe, if people are also harsh and severe.... What a terrible future! " -- Anton Pavlovich

"I think that I will never see
A billboard lovely as a tree
Perhaps, unless the billboards fall
I'll never see a tree at all"

-Ogden Nash


Did you know that a tree is a perennial woody plant found on every continent of the world but Antarctica, that trees prevent erosion, and provide homes for much life on this planet? Trees play a critical role in producing oxygen and reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, as well as moderating ground temperatures. Trees provide us with food, medicine, building material, and are a primary energy source in many developing countries.

This cache is dedicated to the trees that surround us, nourish us, shelter us, shade us and give of themselves for us.

Happy hunting and go hug a tree while you are out.
