Trees are part of our everyday life; so near and so different that we no longer notice them. However, like us, they are born, live and die; they reproduce, need and fight for their survival.
Since the beginning of humanity they helped to survive, then to develop. Finally, through the gaseous exchanges they have with their environment, they contribute to the stability of our atmosphere. But we no longer see them\.
Each tree has its personality, its history; they can be great loners or form groups, be ill or in full health. Like us\.
It is thanks to these common traits that Pierre Lesage has decided to create a series of tree portraits called ''Adopt a tree!'' less
