Branching Out: The Public History of Trees\, a 2025 essay collection from the University of Massachusetts Press\, explores trees through this cultural lens and examines their important role in public history practice. \n University of North Alabama historians Dr. Brian Dempsey and Dr. Carolyn Barske Crawford each contributed essays to the volume. In “An Island of Trees Called Old Hickory: History and Place in the Mississippi Delta\,” Dempsey examines a small stand of trees on the edge of Cleveland\, Mississippi. Though ordinary in appearance\, the site embodies deep cultural associations that illuminate how people connect with and interpret their local landscapes. \n In “‘The Most Useful Tree:’ The American Chestnut\, Stories\, and Species Restoration\,” Crawford explores how the American Chestnut Foundation leverages memories of the tree’s once-vital economic\, social\, and cultural role in Appalachia to support ongoing restoration efforts. Her work highlights the potential for powerful partnerships between scientists and public historians. Together\, Dempsey and Crawford will share insights from their research and invite the audience to reflect on why trees matter—not only ecologically\, but as anchors of meaning in public history and cultural life.

Nature undertakings exemplify how we can restore\, protect\, and live in accord with the laws of Nature.  Economic achievements contribute to a prosperous economy that is viable\, fair\, and inclusive.  Societal work cultivates connectedness\, caring\, equity\, and engagement.  Efforts for Wellbeing nurture individual health\, fulfillment\, happiness\, and collective wellbeing. \nWhile all nominations echo various points of the Sustainability Compass\, awardees are chosen based upon their motivation and commitment to sustainability; the impact of their work; and the degree to which they engage and involve others in their efforts. \nWe will be distributing the awards at the Spirit of Sustainability Awards Ceremony on April 23rd\, 2025.
