As much as we as a species make mistakes with the nature around us the trees are here to protect us. They are the guardians of the life on the planet. And when left to their own growing patterns they erase our footprint, without malace or greed. It really made me feel part of something huge, and also protected. The scary part is taking away too much nature, and erasing ourselves from the planet. The trees, will be able to recover eventally, because they have time on their side.
