Dedication

We can usually identify a brand by its logo without a second thought. Yet we see different species of trees far more often than graphic symbols. Can you name the trees you’ve passed before? What small detail helped you recognize them?

The bark is the layer that shoulders the burden of protecting all the processes happening within the trunk. What’s more, the various nooks and crannies on its surface make it a micro-habitat—a place of life for other organisms.

The next time you look at a tree, consider its bark as a sign of its quiet dedication.
