Learning about Trees

My name is Kim, and I am the Operations Manager at Vanreusel Ventures.

We recently received our first tree cup from Forest Nation, and we couldn’t be more excited–my Mateo.
He helped me prepare everything and sew the seeds. The hardest part for him is waiting! He was curious why we are trying to grow a tree inside the house. I shared with him how vital trees are to the entire planet and talked about how we can make a difference even with just one tree!

He has been very gentle with our little tree. He talks to it, sings to it, and is very excited to see it grow. Maybe a little impatient.

I was candid with him about “why” trees are essential to ALL life on earth, even down to the little honey bee we see flying around. NOW when he sees a tree..big or small…he recognizes each one and says, ” that tree helps me breathe,” or ” that tree is the home for someone else.”

It’s been amazing to see!  Start them young and change will happen.
