The main purpose of this post is not to spread awareness
about worldwide de-forestation or the alarming disappearance of primal forests
all over the world, even though it can serve as a gentle push in the right
direction. Our aim is much more down-to.earth: save the fifty trees that have
always served as a retreat and the best of playgrounds for our children here at Katitawa.
Five years
ago the owners of the land the trees stand on told us they were planning to
cut them down and sell their wood. In order to prevent that we decided to buy,
or rather rent, the trees for
five years, $10 a piece.
What happens is that the 5 years have just expired and the wood-thirsty owners
are already sharpening their saws.
