Assessment of the Second

International Tree Forum

 

Elected officials, partners and the various actors involved all collaborated greatly in the success of this event. The City of Geneva was particularly committed to this theme with significant support, both logistical and financial.

​

The speakers are unanimous. Some excerpts from their messages:

• "…beautiful meeting…"

• "On returning from the Forum I am carried by feelings of fullness and gratitude. You were the conductor of a symphony orchestra whose artists displayed countless skills, a captivating kindness, a magnificent spirit of service and commitment that created a happy and stimulating harmony. Proud and happy to have been able to be there, I send you, as well as the entire ASET forest, especially to its elves in green vests, who turned out to be angels, my congratulations and my warm thanks."

• "First of all, a very big thank you to the founders of this Second Forum for inviting me. The giants of British Columbia…who connect us to the cosmos are grateful. Thank you to ASET for its programme where everyone made their contribution to the Great Forest that we all form. Thank you to the entire ASET team for their welcome and professionalism. I admire and appreciate the commitment they represent. I had the pleasure of chatting with some of you, in harmony of thought."

• "Well done and thank you"

• "I regret that we did not have time to discuss a little more, because I find your actions very interesting."

• "Another VERY BIG THANK YOU for these four very rich days of sharing around our friends the trees. THANK YOU for your very nice invitation and all my admiration for your commitment. This forum has revitalized the troops in the four corners of Europe and elsewhere…. We stay connected like mycorrhizal fungi."
