## Resource

In this episode of Backroads Bill, we sit down with world-renowned botanist, medical biochemist and author Diana Beresford-Kroeger. Diana shares her extraordinary journey growing up in Ireland and having ancient wisdom passed down to her. She then studied to become a scientist with two PhDs who has spent decades studying the chemistry of trees and their direct connection to human health. She explains how the forests do far more than provide beauty and oxygen. Trees release natural compounds into the air that support our immune systems, protect our bodies, and quite literally help us breathe easier. 0:00 Intro 4:47 Childhood Visions and Early Connection to Trees 18:29 The Science: How Tree Aerosols Impact Human Health 29:46 Cutting Through Wellness Noise with Real Science 39:21 One Tree a Year: A Global Call to Action
