What makes a tree unforgettable?

In this laid-back, coffee-shop-style conversation, ISA Certified Arborists Stefanie Boucher and Simon Normile share stories about the trees that have inspired them throughout their lives and careers. From childhood memories and favorite species to legendary trees that have shaped communities and history, this episode explores the unique connections people form with the trees around them.

Along the way, they discuss what makes certain trees special, the lessons trees can teach us, and why some specimens leave a lasting impact long after we're gone. Whether you're a tree enthusiast, nature lover, homeowner, or simply someone who has a favorite tree in your own story, this episode offers a heartfelt look at the relationship between people and the living giants that share our world.

Grab a cup of coffee and join us for a conversation about the trees we love, the stories they hold, and the reasons we keep coming back to them.
