Welcome to Sixteen Thousand Trees.
Hi, I'm Sue Oaks, Author. And this is the right place if you'd like to hear updates on my project, Sixteen Thousand Trees. The project will 'officially' launch on 2nd June, 2025, but I am currently in the preparation and research stage and will be updating this page fairly regularly to share my journey, my learnings and hopefully my growth. Welcome on board!
About the project...
Sixteen Thousand Trees is a personal project by me, Sue Oaks. I'm based in Melbourne, Australia.
This is a personal project which you are welcome to join me on. I'll be updating my blog regularly as I embark on a mission to meet sixteen thousand trees and hear what they have to say.
For far too long, the trees have been ignored. It's time to slow down, to walk with them, to feel their presence, and tell their story. I will do my best to listen carefully and to share what I learn so that the trees can have a voice.

*Disclaimer: I am not a scientist, biologist, or any type of nature expert. Just a regular person, a mother of three and a grandmother of one and with that, sometimes I may not name trees, plants, birds and animals 'correctly'. But this is for the everyday person. And I will use everyday language as best I can. For after all, our living things are known by many names, depending on what culture you are from. I'm here for anyone who wants to learn with me. For those wanting 'expertise', perhaps you might want to explore other websites.
