Now the love of trees has a name, a home, and an amazing event coming up.
Yesterday was the launch of Treestory Seattle, the Web site I've been working on with amazing filmmaker Ward Serrill. He is making a film called TreeStory about humanity's relationship with trees, and we are starting right here in my home town. TreeStory Seattle is collecting stories of Seattle's favorite trees, and the best ones will be told at An Evening of TreeStories on December 1. (Details on the site)
Already we are making a splash. KIRO FM caught on to it yesterday. The story reflects what the reporter told Ward: when they talked about covering this in their editorial meeting, one by one people started to say "I have a story about a tree..."
This is the start of something.

This is the best of the new and the best of the old. Ancient tree spirits meet the modern Web site. Twitter mania leads to old-fashioned, live storytelling. All of it weaving together a love of trees and place and connecting -- on line and in person. Check it out!!

ReplyDeleteAlso - if you haven't already done so, you should mention this project to Meghan at the Grove. She's been working on something interesting with photography and writing related to the clear cut on the neighboring land. Happy to pass along contact info if you don't already have it. :)
