Arboreality

This page will be dedicated to trees and their stories. Trees are the mightiest and the longest living creatures on Earth and as such have always been associated with the symbol of life. Man has grown and protected trees for various purposes (the tree cult, for useful, economic and aesthetic reasons). Because of their long life span trees can be seen as unique beings which link human generations and preserve their stories for the future.
In proximity to human settlements, it is always possible to find trees with a role in the society as messengers of tradition. As such they are not only a part of the natural heritage, but should be recognized as intangible heritage with cultural and spiritual values as well. Although some of these tree specimens are not extremely thick or tall they have a story to tell.

Contributions here will be in Slovenian and English languages, depands on stories, circumstances and authors.
