David Lynch Loves Trees Too
See Linda Faludi's post.
DAVID: I planted 500 trees with my dad one time. Journalist of Surface Magazine: Where did you plant them? DAVID: Idaho City, Idaho. Idaho City used to be the capital of Idaho, before Boise became the capital. And my father ran the Boise National Experimental Forest. I was in the Boy Scouts, and we all went up and planted 500 trees one weekend. Near Idaho City. My father was a research scientist for the Department of Agriculture and loved trees. I always said, ‘If you cut my father’s leash, he would go right into the woods.’ His favorite tree was the Ponderosa Pine. Now I hear that millions of trees are dying every year, among them are Ponderosa Pines here in Los Angeles. It’s a very, very sad thing. A species of bark beetle, which apparently because of the rise in temperature, doesn’t go dormant any more in the winter, and it’s killing all these trees. Trees are so precious to us, as you know. Hopefully we’ll get ourselves together and save them. - Excerpt from: "David Lynch’s Universe Knows No Bounds", Surface Magazine, September 2019. DAVID to The Guardian: I think his happiest time was when he had the Boise National Experimental Forest. A whole forest to experiment with! Things like erosion, bugs – so many different kinds of bugs – disease … And I loved going into that wood. There were little stands with little houses on the stands, and you'd open up the door and there'd be all kinds of weather equipment in there – little read-outs. It was really kind of great. - Excerpt from "The interview: David Lynch" by Gaby Wood and Hazel Sheffield for The Guardian, 2009.

The nice thing about letting other people speak for you is that some of them do it a million times better than you ever could!
