Jewish tradition attributes great importance to land and nature, agricultural work and nature preservation. The first person assigned this important task was Adam. Back in the Garden of Eden, he was told to work the land and preserve it, thereby given the responsibility to safekeep the world around him, and nurture it.

In The Man who Loved Trees, Giora manages to save trees, and inspires his neighbors. Gradually and due to their cooperation, their entire neighborhood blooms in green.
