VOICE OF TREES - The story of a man who planted a forest | India ](VOICE OF TREES - The story of a man who planted a forest | India - YouTube)

Many of us know about Padma Shri. Jadav 'Molai' Payeng - the forest man of India who created 1360 acres of dense green forest in Assam, single-handedly. When we got lucky to shoot a film on him, so many things were running in our mind. But when we got up close with Jadav, we were swept clean by his simplicity and noble pursuit. How he walked the way for the past 35 years to build the forest that flourishes now with Elephants, Rhinos, Tigers and more was simply stunning. Had he been doing it for his own wellness, he’d have stopped after planting a tree or more near his house. But a whole big forest in the remote district of Jorhat? It is so hard to comprehend his commitment, passion & perseverance. In a time where politics is becoming a business and the common people are becoming materialistic consumers, we are forgetting the root of our very survival - Mother nature! It is the green warriors like Jadav Payeng who remain as the light and restore faith in humanity. VOICE OF TREES is his voice, as he speaks about his journey, his love for trees, his vision and his questions on the life today.
Special thanks to Mahesh Venketaswaran who made this entire trip possible, and Anil Kumar Gade, who led us through the jungle and set everything up from scratch to finish. Watch the film and share the voice of the trees. It deserves to be heard loud and far.

We planted a forest in the ashes - here’s what happened
Deuteronomy
20:19 When thou shalt besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an axe against them: for thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt NOT cut them down to employ [them] in the siege (nor for market-economics) (for the tree of the field [is] man's [life] - O2 - Oxygen to breathe):
20:20 Only the trees which thou knowest that they [be] not trees for food, thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou shalt build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee, until it be subdued.
This is what happens when God's Laws (Deut. 20:19) are not enforced. The devil is winning.

Plans for huge Northern Forest could see 50 million trees planted

Plans for huge Northern Forest could see 50 million trees planted
Plans to plant 50 million trees to create a huge Northern Forest, spanning from Manchester to Hull, are well underway.
Northern leaders, including MPs and both Metro Mayors, want the Prime Minister to get behind the project that has already seen 600,000 trees planted.
The Northern Forest is set to span 120 miles and connect Liverpool, Manchester and Lancaster to the West with Sheffield, Leeds and Hull to the East.
With the backing of 120 Northern leaders, including Andy Burnham and Steve Rotherham, the Woodland Trust will plant the rest of the trees over the next 25 years.
Now, those leaders have written to Boris Johnson, inviting him to come to the North, give his full support to the project and plant a tree or two himself.
The forest would benefit 13 million residents and could potentially generate £2.5 billion for the regional economy.
Sir Graham Brady, MP for Altrincham and Sale West, said:
“I’m proud to be associated with this exciting project: The Northern Forest is an initiative of international significance.
“We will see millions of new trees planted, bringing economic and environmental benefits for our region. I am delighted at the ambition of these plans.”
Kate Green, MP for Stretford and Urmston, said,
“We all have a part to play to tackle the Climate Emergency and commit to reforestation on a massive scale as part of the solution.
“Planting a tree is a small step which can benefit our community, while the Northern Forest would benefit our whole region. I will continue to do all I can to call on the government to save our planet form the climate crisis.”
Darren Moorcroft, chief executive officer of the Woodland Trust, added:
“The Northern Forest represents the green lungs of the Northern Powerhouse. This pioneering project will deliver millions of new trees planted, and billions of pounds worth of economic, social and environmental benefits to the region.
“If we are to tackle the climate and biodiversity crises the world faces, internationally significant projects like the Northern Forest must be at the forefront of bold, ambitious domestic thinking.”
Currently, only 7.6 per cent of the North of England is covered by woodland, considerably lower than the national average of 10 per cent.

‘Senseless Crime’: Cops Arrest Teen for Cutting Down 200-Yr-Old, One of UK’s Most Photographed, Tree
A 16-year-old boy was arrested on Thursday after one of Britain’s most photographed trees was found felled next to the Hadrian’s Wall UNESCO World Heritage site in northeast England, prompting outrage and grief.
The Sycamore Gap tree, which has stood for more than 200 years in the Northumberland National Park, was found to have fallen after overnight storms.
Its stump was seen with white paint marks and appeared cleanly cut, as if by a chainsaw, AFP reporters at the scene said.
The crown of the tree lay partly on the ancient Roman fortification, which stretches 73 miles (118 kilometres) from coast to coast.
Criminal!
