Asplund?
“Asplund” is a Swedish word that means “a grove of aspen trees”. Aspen trees are one of nature’s team players and they are a symbol of resilience and interconnection. What looks like a forest of individual aspen trees is often one single organism connected underground by an enormous root system. Because they’re connected underground, aspens can share water and nutrients and send chemical signals warning of pests or stress. This cooperation makes the whole grove more resilient than any single tree could be on its own. Aspen trees symbolize of how we work and what we value: collaboration, growth, interconnection, resilience, and sustainability.
