Mr. Charlie’s Trees, the Podcast on Spotify
“Mr. Charlie’s life’s work culminated into 1000 acres of forest land that he created through 30 years of hard work. His last wish was to give that land perpetuity. He bequeathed his land to the University of Georgia Foundation (UGAF) in the hopes of achieving that. Unfortunately, his wishes were not fulfilled.
Beginning with Mr. Charlie, this episode follows his life journey and how it led him to plant a million trees. With Aliss Terrell, the episode explores the legality, but ethical opaqueness, of UGAF’s actions. The episode covers UGAF’s role in the story by exploring the power that university foundations have historically had. The episode ends with a brief look into how Aliss seems like she’s alone, but how she can act to fight for our forests in her own way.
Special thanks to Aliss Terrell for her dedication to her uncle’s story and legacy. Her research and thoroughness helped tremendously. Here is the trailer to the documentary about Mr. Charlie’s Trees, as well as the GoFundMe.
