The tree in this picture is a species of bamboo from the Huntington Library and Botanic Gardens. I chose bamboo because I feel that despite its numerous contributions to society, bamboo is unfairly victimized, with many people even daring to wrongfully dispute the fact that it is a tree, based on ignorant and arrogant notions of what constitutes as such, whether on the frosty taiga or here in sunny Southern California.

The intention of the International Tree Society is to foster appreciation, love, and connection with the trees in our environment to the widest possible audience through:
interactive sharing about the environments and ecosystems that we live in
educating people about the importance of trees for all life
celebrating the beauty of trees in our communities through the arts
honoring individuals who do work to sustain the environment
Share a story about a kind of tree you like, or a particular tree that you know and love. Or tell a special story about people and trees.
