First of 1.3 million trees are planted in NHS forest

The Tree of Life

8 February 2010

People are like trees. With their roots planted firmly in the soil, trees stand tall
and straight, and survive inclement weather. Likewise, people whose roots are
firmly planted in family grow up strong and healthy, and survive adverse
events.
But without strong roots, both people and trees become weak and frail. Ideally,
society is like an orchard, in which the strong and healthy shelter the weak and
frail, so that all life has a chance to be fruitful.
