In this video action is taken to save a tree. In this neighbourhood trees are seriously hurt, to rot and fall down, to make place for building. The group in this video heals the wound, straighten the tree up, and give conditions for it to live. But knowing that this will only last for moments until the landowner arrives.

LeRoy Stevens: From the Bird's Mouth
