Write a message to your tree: You are one of the most beautiful trees I've ever laid eyes on. Your long drooping branches are like open arms, reaching out to welcome anyone who needs a little break from the world. Stepping under your canopy feels like entering a portal to a new world. Thank you for being you.

What makes this tree special to you?: It just has a welcoming feel

Be the Lorax! If your tree could speak, what would it say?: To the squirrels that live in my branches, I just wanted to say how much I enjoy having you as my lively little neighbors. Your chatter keeps me company, and your acrobatics on my branches? Truly impressive. I’ve seen you leap from limb to limb like tiny forest trapeze artists, and I can’t help but feel proud that my long, drooping arms give you the perfect stage. I know you love hiding your treasures in my nooks and crannies. Don’t worry, I’ll keep them safe through the winter. Just remember where you put them! (I’ve seen more than a few forgotten acorns turn into saplings—your little surprises for the future.) Thank you for bringing so much life to my quiet days. When the wind blows and the snow falls, your rustling and scurrying remind me that even in stillness, the world is full of joy.
