"Without being dramatic, it was easily the hardest thing I've ever done in a single day,"
"But it was also fun-and the kind of thing that shifted how I intend to use my ideas and my body as a force for good. It was practical, hard, and an outcomes-driven use of time and energy."
"I had a cup of tea in the new forest, from water boiled on a fire made from the forest itself. It's perhaps the most profound cup of tea I've ever had."
Beau Miles, an Australian nature-lover and maker, planted one tree per minute for 24 hours, totaling 1,440 trees and creating a nascent forest. He vowed to return every two years to document growth and wildlife colonization. The young stand now supports wildlife and supplied wood and water boiled for a memorable cup of tea. Miles shares hands-on projects through videos, a YouTube channel focused on urban foraging, and a book called The Backyard Adventurer. He plans to use streaming funds to buy and plant additional trees and continue practical, outcomes-driven environmental work.
