Summary

Does competition or cooperation get you further in life? That's the question we tackle this week while we discuss the paper birch (Betula papyrifera). We end this episode with a game that we all love, and get some ideas on how to love the trees in your neighborhood.

Completely Arbortrary is produced and hosted by Casey Clapp and Alex Crowson
