In this episode, we walk with Alan through:

The act of rewilding — not just restoring land, but restoring relationship

Why healing broken ecosystems is the most radical hope we have

How a single sapling carries within it an entire future

A man of many gifts — photographer, storyteller, planter of forests — Alan founded Trees for Life in 1986 and for three decades served as its guiding spirit, transforming Scotland's barren glens into cathedrals of green. A vegan since 1979, his life reminds us that compassion must stretch beyond our species

This is not a lecture on ecology. This is an invitation to remember, to see, as Alan does, that every act of rewilding is a love letter to a better future for everyone
