I enjoyed drawing a lot when I was a kid. One problem I always had – and I’m sure this is not unique to me – is that my drawings always looked much prettier in my head than they did on paper. So for this slow, post-holiday Friday post, I wanted to share a video… More
Sure, you may already know the answer to the question of how trees transport water up to such incredible heights. But this video from Veritasium is still worth it. It explains principles I didn’t even realize existed (water can only rise about 10 meters when sucked through a tube?) and makes a very compelling case… More
And this is why you always choose the person to do tree trimming work with very, very carefully.
Last month’s webinar by our Technical Director, Pat Greeley, on the topic of integrating Silva Cells and utilities was our best attended, ever, by far (far). We know how important this topic is, and the seminar was a great opportunity to share everything we’ve learned from the nearly 400 installations we’ve completed.
Remember how exciting it was to use a microscope for the first time? I remember looking at our own hair in fifth grade (I went to a hippy dippy school where we could design many of our own experiments, and we were obsessed with the idea of conditioner causing “buildup,” which, is that even really… More

This video from Tree People reminds me a little bit of Annie Leonard’s “The Story of Stuff,” except it’s about the role of trees in green infrastructure.
Our detailed Silva Cell installation instruction video is now available in Spanish! The full video runs about 20 minutes. If you’d rather watch it in sections, we have it broken out in to those as well.
I love time lapse video, and this video, “Why Trees?” from Alabama Cooperative Extension (Alabama A & M and Auburn Universities) features the incredible freehand drawings of Art Director Bruce DuPree as it persuades us to fully recognize for the many, many, many benefits of trees.
Soil. Stormwater. Sustainable Infrastructure.
