Episode 41: Tree Talk for Arbor Day

Welcome to the 41st episode of the Science Witch Podcast!

Spirit Tree by Anjel

In this episode of the Science Witch Podcast, Anjel and Enku talk about trees, one of our favorite topics. We talk about trees in mythology as well as some of the ways trees and forests must now be managed to combat the wildfire crisis in the west. We also talk about some forests that have infamous reputations as well as about a tree that owns itself.
