Like CastleBee I have always loved trees. Hugging them can be messy though, and they aren't all that cuddly. I have no problem with logging--heck, half the stuff in my house is made of wood--as long as it is done sustainably! That's not that hard to do. Currently I'm living adjacent to palms, pines, oaks, redwoods and a mature avocado grove: tree heaven.
