In a quiet town in Georgia, a white oak tree stands at the edge of a small rise, surrounded by stone posts and legend. According to local lore, this tree legally owns itself – a gift from a man who once loved it so deeply, he signed over the land it stood on. Nearby, a plaque still carries his words: “For and in consideration of the great love I bear this tree…” This episode reflects on that love, and what it means to care for nature not out of duty, but from something deeper. We explore the story of the tree, the growing movement for nature’s legal personhood, and the quiet truth that when we protect the earth, we are also protecting ourselves. Hosted on Acast.
