A couple of years ago a PBS Series entitled Edens Lost and Found caught my attention. The series is about "regreening" taking place in Chicago, Philadelphia, LA, and Seattle. By regreening I mean investing in sustainable urban ecosystems that can improve quality of life.
Regreening is an emerging trend. Communities and individuals, including a number of REALTORS® are working together to develop programs and initiatives to reconnect kids with nature in their own neighborhoods. Everybody wins.
Going Green in Your Neighborhood? Here are a few Resources:
An excellent book Last Child in the Woods. A book that might impact how we build neighborhoods.
An example of residential development going green: Derek Thomas, founder and chief operating officer of Newland Communities, the nation's largest privately owned residential developer, has committed his company to changing its design approach. "We need to find more ways to integrate community into nature," he told CBS News.

Thank you for the post. We all really need to protect our surroundings more. For me it is using trees that have fallen for firewood. This is one thing we call can do and still enjoy a winter fire in the hearth

I like your idea. The fallen wood is a gift.
