Excellent video. Very simple and genuine on-site production which poignantly shows how climate change is impacting our woods and forests. Like most people, I love trees and woods and I did not realize how much they are changing due to climate change. Thank you for the inspiration to do more in protecting the earth.
Thank you, Christine!!
