I saw this about 20-30 years ago and never forgot it..it’s so amazing and really reinforces how much of a difference one single person can make ...and how important trees are...trees..attract and retain moisture in the soil around them..encourage other things to grow...then birds, insect and animals come and have habitat ..the trees ( or the acorns in this case) were the initializer..the key, to creating a whole rich world out of barrenness..such a good lesson ..ie. if we just appreciate and use what we have within our reach..for good...a lot can happen starting with seeds

>> Awesome article, Susan.  It made me think of a little book my sister sent me years ago called, "The Man Who Planted Trees" by Jean Giono.  Here's an animated version that won an Academy Award:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aY_zuNtf3_g.
