The Horses Say NO – Do Not Cut Down Any More Trees!

At the Singing Horse Ranch our entire house is heated by a wood furnace. So every year we have to fill the woodshed by cutting down ‘dead standing’ trees from around the ranch.

The book recommended in the video is Finding The Mother Tree by Suzanne Simard. It is a fantastic book and definitely one of my favorites, alongside Wilding by Isabella Tree and Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer.

If you’re at all interested in sustainability, or regenerative farming, or permaculture systems, definitely check out those three excellent books – all 3 have lots of stories, not just dry data, so they’re very enjoyable to read.
