Adopt a tree.
Choose a tree near where you live. Visit it through one full year. Send the club four notes -- one each season.
a club for trees, by people who love them
An open gathering of arborists, planters, dendrologists, hobbyists, and wanderers who simply stop and look up. Members propose walks, identify species in shared photo logs, and trade saplings by post.
Monthly slow walks in mapped groves -- old oaks of the Pyrenees, ginkgo rows in late October, the camphor giants of Jeju. No itinerary, only a meeting tree and a shared thermos.
A growing field guide, written collectively. Bark patterns, leaf phyllotaxis, the names trees carry across languages, and the small rituals of planting on the right moon.
A members-only seed and sapling exchange. Acorns from the Loire, korean pine cones from Gangwon, and the occasional persimmon stone -- packed in moss, signed off on a paper card.
A quarterly publication, riso-printed in chrome silver and branch green, collecting essays, leaf rubbings, and small fictions about the trees we live under.
No tier. No fee. A few small rituals.
Choose a tree near where you live. Visit it through one full year. Send the club four notes -- one each season.
One pressed leaf, real or drawn, with the species and the place. We file it in the canopy archive in Seoul.
Anything -- a seed in a pot, a sapling in a yard, an acorn pressed into a roadside hollow. Tell us where, and the year.
Attend a club walk, or invent your own. Send back a route, a tree, a photograph, or a paragraph.
