Growing Old: Tales from an Urban Canopy

Welcome to Growing Old

Episode Summary

This is the kind of story that begins in a forest, on the traditional lands of the Duwamish and Coast Salish People, past and present. It’s a story about Seattle’s urban forest and the humans that live within it. We start in the year 2070, imagining what our City might look like if we planted the right seeds today. We follow the story of Chief Seattle Club, as they turn concrete into a Medicine Garden at Eagle Village. And we end each episode with how we might work together so that the humans and trees in our community can grow old. This is Growing Old.
