I know !! I know !!
A community forest agreement is where you get all the different trees and shrubs in a given area of forest to agree to grow together and help each other out.... usually starts out great but then goes sideways when the taller trees start dropping stuff on the shorter trees and the shorter trees form committees to address their specific problems... thereby alienating the taller trees... then things get all messy and political.
Sort of like real life among people in cities !!
