A Year With the Trees

I write "A Year With the Trees" to bring an awareness to the world about the importance of trees to the future of our planet. Planting and being stewards of trees native to where you live is of vital importance for the health of animals, insects, birds, all life, including our own. I am studying the trees that are native to Southern Appalachia, where I live. This blog illustrates 92 trees and why we need to be responsible to keep native plant communities alive and well.

The River Birch Tree. This River Birch Tree lives at the Asheville Botanical Gardens. The reddish-colored papery, flaky bark makes this tree stand out in the woods. Photo by BGA staff.
