“Living tissue is complicated: it is built from many different components. More to the point, it is ‘alive’….Living creatures are in perpetual dialogue with all that surrounds them – with the other creatures they encounter minute by minute, and with climate and landscape, which means they are in perpetual dialogue with the whole world, which in turn is subject to the influence of the whole universe. Whatever other creatures may do, however the world changes, each individual must take everything else into account. Each of us is engaged in this dialogue with other creatures and with the universe at large from conception to the grave.” ~Tudge, Colin. Pages 252 and 55

“St. Barbe’s unique capacity to pass on his enthusiasm to others. . . Many foresters all over the world found their vocations as a result of hearing ‘The Man of the Trees’ speak. I certainly did, but his impact has been much wider than that. Through his global lecture tours, St. Barbe has made millions of people aware of the importance of trees and forests to our planet.” Allan Grainger
“The science of forestry arose from the recognition of a universal need. It embodies the spirit of service to mankind in attempting to provide a means of supplying forever a necessity of life and, in addition, ministering to man’s aesthetic tastes and recreational interests. Besides, the spiritual side of human nature needs the refreshing inspiration which comes from trees and woodlands. If a nation saves its trees, the trees will save the nation. And nations as well as tribes may be brought together in this great movement, based on the ideal of beautifying the world by the cultivation of one of God’s loveliest creatures – the tree.” ~ Richard St. Barbe Baker.
“I believed that God has lent us the Earth. It belongs as much to those who come after us as to us, and it ill behooves us by anything we do or neglect, to deprive them of benefits which are in our power to bequeath.” Richard St. Barbe Baker
