Trees, they tell us, can live without us, but we cannot live without them. Not only do trees provide us with the oxygen we breathe, food gathered from their branches, and wood for both fuel and shelter, they have also been essential to the spiritual and cultural life of civilizations around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom Luna, the Coastal Redwood in California that became an international symbol when activist Julia Butterfly Hill sat for 738 days on a platform nestled in its branches to save it from logging, to the Bodhi Tree, the sacred fig in India that is a direct descendant of the tree under which Buddha attained enlightenment, Cook and Jenshel reveal trees that have impacted and shaped our lives, our traditions, and our feelings about nature. There are also survivor trees, including a camphor tree in Nagasaki that endured the atomic bomb, an American elm in Oklahoma City, and the 9\/11 Survivor Tree, a Callery pear at the 9\/11 Memorial. All of the trees were carefully selected for their role in human dramas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis project both reflects and inspires awareness of the enduring role of trees in nurturing and sheltering humanity.
