I really love the feeling of spending a long day out in the woods planting new trees. Holding this tiny pine sapling reminds me that even small actions can make a big difference for the environment. By the time I was done, my "plant" shirt was covered in mud and so was my truck, but it was the best kind of mess to make. Getting my hands dirty and working hard to help nature grow is something I feel very proud of. It is quiet out here on the dirt roads, and it is the perfect place to focus on giving back to the earth. I am so glad I got to capture this moment before the sun went down.
