Hello everyone! Welcome to *A Year with Trees* podcast. I am Fatima, the host of this show. Trees are one of my favourite beings in nature, and I enjoy learning about them. There are not many podcasts that talk about trees, so I started this show to spread awareness about some common Indian trees. Every week, I share my stories related to the tree of the week, describe it to you in detail, and then help you with keys to identify it in the wild. So come along with me, let's explore the beautiful world of trees.
Enjoy and do follow and share!
