🌳The bond we build with trees is one that can grow throughout a lifetime. From childhood to older adulthood, trees become part of our memories. They shade our conversations, witness our milestones, offer comfort during difficult moments, and quietly remind us that we belong to something larger than ourselves.

Which trees are part of your story?

🌳 What makes our relationship with trees so deeply personal?

In this clip from Stories of Trees, host Stacy Whittle sits down with Dr. Laurie Fox of Virginia Tech, who has spent a lifetime studying, protecting, and learning from trees.
Dr. Fox reflects on how planting a tree can leave an imprint that lasts for generations. She recalls a family returning to visit a tree their father had planted years earlier—a living reminder of his legacy and a place where memories continue to grow.
Sometimes, a tree is more than part of the landscape. It becomes part of a family’s story, connecting generations through place, memory, and love.

🎙️ Stories of Trees is a podcast from Corazón Latino featuring scientists, artists, conservationists, and community leaders whose personal stories reveal the profound ways trees shape our lives.

Today is World Nature Conservation Day. 🌎🌿
Nature is more than something we visit. It is the system that keeps us alive.
Healthy forests clean the air we breathe. Wetlands filter the water we drink. Trees help cool our communities, reduce pollution, support wildlife, and create spaces where our minds and bodies can recover from stress. Science continues to show that when nature thrives, people thrive.

Nature has always cared for us. It’s time for us to return the favor.
Happy World Nature Conservation Day! 😀

🐠 During the Taller de Maestros in Culebra, Puerto Rico, educators stepped beyond the classroom to experience marine conservation firsthand. Through the Blue Schools Initiative, participants explored sustainable fisheries, coastal ecosystems, and community-led stewardship while learning from local fishers, researchers, and conservation partners.
By connecting educators with the people and places protecting Puerto Rico’s oceans, we’re helping create learning experiences that inspire students to become informed environmental leaders and lifelong stewards of our natural resources.
Every lesson shared today has the potential to shape a healthier ocean tomorrow. 🌊

Music has a way of bringing people together.
Whether it’s a concert in the park, a favorite band, or an evening under the stars, every opportunity to enjoy music, fresh air, and community matters.
Because there’s always another song worth hearing and a beat worth catching.

🌳 Dr. Ray Yeager explains that our brains and bodies are wired to be around trees.

In this clip from Stories of Trees: Episode 2, he shares how humans evolved in natural environments, yet modern life often separates us from the very places that help us thrive.

Our connection to trees isn’t just about enjoying nature. It’s an essential part of who we are.

Education is one of the most powerful tools we have to protect our oceans!
Through our Taller de Maestros in Puerto Rico, educators participated in hands-on learning experiences as part of the Blue Schools Initiative, exploring water literacy, sustainable fisheries, and innovative approaches to marine conservation.
From the classrooms to the shores of Culebra, participants connected with local fishers, researchers, and community partners to see firsthand how education, science, and local knowledge work together to protect Puerto Rico’s coastal ecosystems.
By empowering educators today, we’re helping inspire the next generation of ocean stewards tomorrow.
