STORY TIME
once upon a time
Stories are the glue of culture, the threads of history and the root of education. Stories impact our world and chart new horizons that were previously unimagined. Stories are the seeds of change.
The Last Tree was named after Dr Seuss’ story The Lorax. Another story we love is The Man Who Planted Trees. This is a tale about one man who reforests a barren landscape starting with a single seed. It's a beautiful story about patience, dedication and one person making a big difference!
The Last Tree wrote A Story of Sustainability for the Malvern Springs community. We had the design spruced up by Seedpod. You can read it by clicking here.
We’re currently working on a series of short stories about human ecology – stay tuned for updates.
