Embrace Real Hope
Their roots can remain dormant for years and then spring to life. Aspens survive. It is the hope of resilience and revival.
Seek and embrace diversity
Aspen communities have a mix of ages. This mixture of young and old helps to make the trees more hearty. One may lean on another from time to time. A groups strength can be affected by its different points of view. Diversity adds perspective. Learn from the older, engage the young.

Aspens are unique in many ways. In each season, they show a different quality, just as we can choose to honor our unique beauty instead of comparing ourselves to others. As we journey through the different seasons of our lives, lets learn to honor the present season.
When Trouble Hits, Rebuild Community
When a fire hits a forest, aspens are some of the first trees to repopulate and replenish. When disaster strikes, people come together and begin to rebuild. It takes time, but our sense of community is the first to be seen and experienced. Adversity does not end a community, it restarts and can actually strengthen it.
Make Some Noise
Aspen leaves rustle at the slightest breeze, sending a whisper through the community. If we need help, we should ask, if something is not right, we should speak up, if something is done well we should let others know and be thankful.
