We are a group of caring tree-huggers. 
Looking for other tree-huggers to join forces with.

As quiet as our trees, which we adore for their beauty,
shade and shelter, so we have been. 

WE CAN NO LONGER BE QUIET. 
We must stand up for our trees. Create new laws. 
Protest the removal of these vital resources.  
We can no longer take the Trees of Seattle for granted. 
They are disappearing in groves. 
WE PROTEST THIS LOSS. 

We intend to educate
and with knowledge change our city
into stewards of the wonders of nature
we often take to easily for granted.

A tree huggers thoughts:

THE COMMONWEALTH MANIFESTO

Before the Denny’s and the Yesler’s arrived, before the U. S. Constitution was written,
before land grants were granted,  before Columbus set sail, before Christianity,
Judaism and Islam came into existence, before agriculture and predating civilization,
before man walked the earth there were trees! 

Trees, the giants of the plant kingdom reigned supreme and dominated
landscapes.  For 200 million years trees have provided food, shelter,
clean water and clear air for billions of creatures and millions of species
including man!

Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness demand and require a healthy environment. 
Trees and the fishes of the sea represent the commonwealth of the planet. 
Will we be the stewards of our blue and green planet or will we oversee world-wide
ecosystem collapse and mass species extinction?  The choice is ours.  We must protect
our commonwealth!  Trees benefit all life forms; we destroy them at our peril.  There
would be no National Parks, no National Forests, no National Seashores or National
Wildlife Preserves without the concept of commonwealth.
