The seeds already crossed the ocean, but this time the people did, too. For many years, seeds from the trees that survived the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki have been sent from Japan to all corners of the world. Just recently, a delegation from Oregon visited Japan for another step in the Peace Tree Project.
The delegation presented a rough cut of the documentary, Seeds of Peace, covering the Oregon involvement in the project. We get a summary of the activities in Oregon and Japan from Mike Oxendine, the Executive Director of Our Community Forestry, and Oregon Community Trees board member Jim Gersbach, who also works for Oregon Department of Forestry.
