In another thread this French classic inspirational tale of the union
between ecolgical transformation and a peoples well being, was
mentioned but i had forgotten the specific reference. I found
it . . . . The story's title is "The Man Who Planted Trees."

This story by Jean Giono has distinct literary value but should not
be assumed factual in every particular. I briefly lived in Menerbes,
Vaucluse, in 1958, when Elzéard Bouffier had been forgotten -- if
he ever existed.
