While many of us may realize the importance of forests for both our health and the environment, there’s more to the story we need to know understand…Given that a forest usually takes a few decades to grow, most people tend to think of forest restoration as something that the next generation should take care and people fail to realize we need to plant the seed today, to reap the benefits tomorrow. If you witnessed a forest grow in your lifetime, consider yourself lucky because this is a once-in-a-lifetime sighting as most forests take anywhere between 30 to 40 years to grow. The good news is it doesn’t have to take that long…anymore. There’s now a thing called Natural Urban Forests that has entered the market and it allows us to restore forests and have trees high in the sky in as little as two years…that’s right TWO YEARS. Imagine what this can do for the health of the planet. This is what we are going to dive into in this episode of the Darin Olien Show with guests Tatiana Grossman, Alexander Marcoulides, and Ethan Bryson. Tatiana Grossman is the Founder & Co-CEO of Corridor, the company that has created the fastest reforestation method known, creating vibrant ecosystems in as little as two years. Alexander Marcoulides is also the Founder & Co-CEO and Ethan Bryson is the Chief Reforestation Officer. Key Takeaways
- While many of us may realize the importance of forests for both our health and the environment. However, given that a forest usually takes a few decades to grow, most people tend to think of forest restoration as something that the next generation should take care of as they won’t directly benefit from it as they may not be around by the time it’s a forest. People fail to realize we need to plant the seed today, to reap the benefits tomorrow.
- For most of us who live in a city, we haven’t talked to our neighbors in months - even years! While it may feel like a normal phenomenon, it isn’t as we haven’t always been this way. There was a point in time in the past when community and your neighbors were essential to your communal and societal wellbeing. That being said, maybe it’s time we connect back to the soil, get our hands dirty, and plant some trees. Not only are trees great for the environment, but they can also heal us. From mental health to increasing bonding, the healing properties of forests are never-ending.
