Every tall, beautiful tree begins its life as a tiny seedling.

Seedling

Before reaching the canopy, a seedling must become a sapling - building a slender trunk, twigs and branches of its own. Sapling-tier patrons receive Ethan's monthly column plus behind the scenes bonus content about Ethan and his work at Bear Island and his consulting forestry business: Bear Island Forestry.

Sapling

The trees in a forest are like the coral in a coral reef - a living structure around which a community is woven.
