In this episode we explore both challenges and hopeful developments regarding the future of forests, balancing current threats with emerging solutions. While climate change and pest infestations pose serious risks to our forests, innovative developments offer rays of hope. Examining America's dismal wood recycling rates, we discover how one startup is reimagining the future of fallen trees. From a groundbreaking study showing how urban forests reduce disease risk in Louisville, to doctors prescribing forest walks and hospitals creating healing gardens, we explore new pathways for human-forest connection. We pose the question: if every tree in the forest had a name, could it help us reimagine our relationship with nature?
