How to Read a Tree

The Art of Manliness

NOTE

The importance of understanding nature beyond identification

Nature can be appreciated without knowing the names of things./nDifferent cultures have different names for the same tree, showing that there is no correct name./nIndigenous people have strong skills in finding meaning in nature without relying on names./nNames are not the answer to finding meaning; every color, shape, and pattern in nature reveals something about the life of a tree./nKnowing about broad families of trees can provide insights into the environment./nConifers, with their dark needle-like foliage, have evolved to thrive in challenging environments./nConifers are good at dealing with cold, hot, windy, dry, or inhospitable conditions.
