Planting trees is an unprecedented investment.
I found myself coming from a developing side of the world where people still preserve their names in trees 🌲
How do I mean?
My dad died 19 years ago, but we still remember him when we look at the trees he planted.
My grandpa died 55 years ago, but his name is still remembered through his investment through tree planting
How does it work for?
Our predecessors did enter into oath, that’s a solemn promise with their children not to cut down some particular trees planted by them so that their numerous upcoming generations may remember them through those trees.
This method has lived with us for many ages. I’ve beginning to esteem this legacy built by our forefathers because indirectly they helped to preserve our habitat by retaining good number of ancient trees.
I planted the tree in the picture few weeks ago inside my compound.
The memory of how my fathers valued trees made me to ponder today on the importance of planting trees, not just fruit trees but making and creating forests through the act of intentional tree planting.
