"Being in the forest makes me feel truly alive and deeply connected to the world around me. It’s a space where my mind clears, my focus sharpens, and my energy renews. Every time I’m surrounded by trees and fresh air, I feel my spirit restored—it’s a reminder of why I’m passionate about preserving these landscapes for others to experience and find peace in, too."
