Abstract
Verse
Verse The tree in front of my home is a word, the trees on my street are a sentence, the trees in my neighborhood are a paragraph and all the trees in the community are a story. That story tells us about our relationship to nature, past and present. The future of this story lies in the hands of all residents… ~Greg McPherson, Supervisory Research Forester, Pacific Southwest Research Station, USDA Forest Service, Davis, CA.
