What do you know about mastic trees or the guardians and families who care for them?
Are you familiar with the beneficial effects of the resin and its products?
Are you aware of how many trees have been lost to devastating fires in recent years and
what that means for the villages and families who depend on them for their livelihood?

When these trees are lost, we also lose a valuable natural treasure, an ecosystem, for 
our health and physical and mental well-being, one that has existed since antiquity.
