I read about ‘tree huggers’ but honestly, l have never seen anyone ever hugging a tree!
Have you ever hugged a tree, or seen someone with their arms around a tree?
I bet you haven’t!! So why do they say that, or maybe you can tell me otherwise… that you frequently hug a tree?
I have seen children trying to hug a tree but no adults…
I can’t say I have hugged one, but I have definitely put my hand up on the trunk of many a tree in admiration.
I have never hugged a tree.
Apparently Prince Charles shakes hands with every tree he has planted and wishes them well,I read that somewhere.
@Artangel yes Art 
many times…
I love trees they give off waves of calmness and well bring. I love to touch and feel the different kinds of bark too…
Did you know some research says trees communicate with each other and even shed leaves to share water in times of drought…
They are living things just as we are 
I think that “tree hugger” is meant to be a derogatory term but to be quite honest, I would far rather hug a tree than some of the people on this planet.
But no, I have not yet anyway hugged a tree.
You mean Charles extends a branch and the tree extends a hand? I wonder whether it’s a limp kind of shake or a real grip of the twigs.
I do marvel at trees… how old they are, how many years they have survived, what they have witnessed, how regal they are…
So, so much and they will outlive us all.
Yes, I’ve hugged a tree.
of course i’ve hugged a tree, many times, and i even talk to them, why not, they don’t argue, some are my best friends
I Love Trees and live surrounded by trees…I have not hugged a tree but will be found leaning against this one at some time during the day…The Tree was quite happy there and along came the overhead electric wires…So every year we shall get an order to cut it back…So far it’s still been able to grow till is branches are content 
…looks very sad after the compulsory chop chop…
The helicopter employed by the Electric Companies and paid for by us… comes over and around all the gardens, usually during August…
No.I do stand and admire them though.And we have a constant battle here to save them from developers.
I hug trees all the time … erm maybe not literally. Well OK just a little hug sometimes.
That’s true. Makes me want to hug a tree all the more.
I live in the Tree huggers capital of Canada, which is British Columbia, Canada. It is a required and taught in school lol…

I’ve climbed a few and fell out of a few but can’t say I’ve ever fancied one. Having said that you have to give thanks for the hard work they put in making the planet habitable. 
I have sat among the roots of many trees when out walking. But never hugged one.
When it was a little tree, I used to put my hands around it. But now it’s too big for hugs. They grow up so fast. 
yes - took part once in a tree hugging ‘spiritual gathering’ - have touched them many times
Why, yes I have many times while out hiking. Some trees call your name to rest against them and rest for a minute.
I think a tree hugger meant you are all for protecting the environment, and trees do preserve our earth.
I have heard it said that trees are the lungs of the planet - without trees we are all doomed!
