Hey everybody it's

it's Arbor Day we spent this whole week celebrating trees the weird the wonderful

the dangerous and before today's episode I have a real quick request. If you

listen to our episode from Tuesday, the episode about folks in Melbourne and

beyond writing these love letters to their local trees, emailing the trees around them and

saying you are just the best. You should listen to it and after you do we want to

hear your tree love letters. Is there a special tree in your life?

Tell us all about it. What does it look like? What type of tree is it? What's your connection

to it? Is there a tree in your life you hate? I kind

want to hear those stories even more. Call us at 315 992 792

992-902 and leave us a message with your name reading your love letter or or screed to your local tree.

Our mailbox will cut you off after about two minutes, so just call back if you get disconnected.

You can also record a voice

memo of any length and email it to us at hello at atlasubscura.com I cannot

wait to hear your letters to trees.
