"The man with the gun is sitting beside a tree; the barrel is resting on one of its branches. He’s listening as the wood falls asleep; the trees begin to take on human shape. The great peace of nightfall steals into his heart."
(“Lying in Wait” from Nature Stories by Jules Renard, trans. by Douglas Parmee)
For centuries, humans have lived among, near, and with trees. Humans evolved as tree-climbing, tree-loving species and have since relied on trees for shelter, shade, building materials, food, and a range of support. Shel Silverstein's "The Giving Tree" depicts the human relationship with trees in a beautiful, illustrated children's book. Despite how nature-friendly your backyard is, you probably have a few trees planted there for shade or for aesthetic flourish.
Trees are beautiful. We use their wood to build fires. They clean the air, shield us from harsh sun, provide wood for building boats, utensils, and houses, and color the background of our lives. At Wildlife Wonders, we've gathered a diverse and stunning collection of tree-themed and botanical art, jewelry, and home decor inspired by the beauty of the world's tree species.
