Madrone (arbutus) trees are deeply loved in the West. They are charismatic, with bright red bark and branches that twist and turn—always in search of light. They are master cooperators, hosting a wide variety of mycorrhizal fungal species on their roots that help them establish communities with other tree species and increase access to vital resources for them to thrive. 

Salish legend says that arbutus roots hold the earth together. May this piece help you establish connection, stay grounded, and forever seek what nourishes you.
