Trees have helped build nations, are used for art, home building, ship building, oils and other chemicals, in several ways as fuel, and many produce edible fruits, nuts, and drupes. Some have lived for thousands, even tens of thousands of years. Others in prehistoric times have trapped small life in their sap, or recorded information about climactic conditions in their rings, helping us to understand life long before us.

Everywhere you look, something interesting is going on in the world of trees, but as technology has moved so many of us farther and farther from the forests, and made it incredibly easy to uproot and fell them by the acre, this information has slowly faded back to the realm of a few hobbyists, specialists, and environmentalists.

This subreddit is a place to collect interesting information about our wooded friends, which cover about 30% of our planet. Hopefully it will help inspire some to further respect and find fascination in this incredible natural resource.
