  I’m not very rich. I’m not very clever, and I’m not very young. But I care about the nature. I HATE to se my country change from beautiful countryside with butterflies, birds, bees and all sorts of wild life, to plain agriculture playground sprayed with insecticides and fertilizers, raped in the name of greed and mammon. In a period of my life I was hit by illness and I had during that period a lot of time to spare. I therefore started a little project, planting trees on my land. I had 2.7 Acers of agriculture with weed, sugar beats and whatever. I planted without machinery approximated 10.000 trees, of deferent sorts. I took about 3 years to finish. To day the trees is about 10ft. I’m a bit proud. My biggest effort was not the planting it self, but the struggle against rules and statutes. I therefore pay tribute to this initiative; Tree Nation.
