 +=== Why walk? ===
  
 Any one of us can join the silent political Party of Trees by completing one of these walks and by listening to the stories the chosen trees are telling you. Any one of us can join the silent political Party of Trees by completing one of these walks and by listening to the stories the chosen trees are telling you.

 +By chosing to walk and become a member of the Party of Trees, you're not joining any regular type of political party you know. They will not represent their ego nor short term views. Trees are networked species. They aim for their own survival, that is true, but they will always realise this in collaboration with others. 
 +
 +Giving your trust to trees is very easy: they will not abuse your rights, you will still have the right to cut their limbs, when that seems to be necessary for your own survival. 
 +
 +By giving your trust, you choose to connect with the energy of the trees, and to live and think with them as they will become your close friends. In return you will regain the connection with the nature and become the unseparable entity of it. You will rediscover the wisdom and instincts inside you. They will empower you as a human being and as a part of the living society on earth.
 +
 +So if you're happy with all this, just put one foot in front of the other, and choose one of the itineraries below.
