This group was formed because I have seen a lot of unnecessary cutting down of trees and the result is loss of habitat for all of its inhabitants. In my area, there as been a tremendous amount of that going on, and it upsets me greatly. My property is surrounded on three sides by another property, one that was once filled with lots of trees and grassy fields. But that has all been changed, as the owners of that land decided to build condos on it. They wanted us to move so they could build straight across instead of around us, but we refused. I thought they would at least keep some of the trees, but instead, they butchered all but what lined the street. All of the inhabitants lost their homes. And now the property across the street from me , which at the moment is a vacant horsefarm with a section of forest by a creek, is slated to be turned into the same thing--condos. That is why I decided to create this group--to spread the word about the great importance of trees. They are home to various living beings; they create shade and cool the area around them; they take in co2 and release oxygen for cleaner air; and they are just beautiful to look at. Some of the trees they cut down were over a hundred years old--I think they more than earned the right to be here after surviving through so many decades. The tree in the group photo is of a great oak over a hundred years old--my favorite tree. Now there is nothing left but a few stumps. Please join me in my love of trees, and let's save them together. Don't let this happen in your area! Feel free to share anything about trees--let's enjoy everything about them, not cut them down!

  Blog: Good news for people & trees  

The city of Gainesville FL has decided to pay 32 cents per kilowatt hour for renewable energy generated in the city and fed into the power grid. The idea is to create a financial incentive for people who want to put up solar panels. More solar power may mean less coal-fired power. Fewer emissions from coal power plants will reduce toxins which harm people and trees.

Blog: The Giant Kauri  
Kauri(Agathis Australis)is, on maturity, one of the largest trees found anywhere in the world, and one of the most commercially attractive, with a  long straight, branchless trunk producing durable straight-grained timber, and a resin once greatly prized for the manufacture of high quality paints, varnishes, and polishes. As a result, it was the basis of the first export trade from NZ and was cut and milled with a voracity hard to believe considering the technology of 19th-century NZ.

The kauri is a conifer, a native of NZ but related to trees of the same genus, Agathis, throughout the Western Pacific, most notably Australia, the Philippines, New Guinea, Indonesia and Fiji. It's natural habitat was in the north of the North Island of NZ, from a line running between Raglan(west coast of North Island)to Bay Of Plenty(east coast of North Island), through to Hamilton. The biggest stands of these huge trees were in Northland and the Coromandel Peninsula(both near top of North Island).

The largest ever-recorded kauri grew in Mercury Bay, on the east coast of North Island and when measured in 1850 had a girth of 23.43m and soared 21.8m to the first branch. A tree still growing near Whangarei(top of North Island, on east side), has a girth of 20.12, and the first branch is 30.8m from the ground. Tane Mahuta, the famous and oldest kauri in NZ, has a girth of 14m, is 51m tall and is 1,200 years old!

To get to know where all these Kauris lived, look on a NZ map, and spot them on the North Island landscape. That is one way of getting to know NZ!!
