man for my entire life attenborough's voice has been a major catalyst in loving the world around. still having him with us makes me emotional asf

[@radiominion]

All the things you can know about a tree just by looking at the rings from the trunk it’s really cool

[@Matt-np3wk]

The excitement in his voice when he pats the bigger tree and says a century or more old. The amount of respect he shows the tree is astounding. Love it

[@JimmyGeorgeB]

For in the true nature of things, if we rightly consider, every green tree is far more glorious than if it were made of gold and silver.
