Tree ordination, as a means of protecting community forests, often combines local spiritualism along with Buddhist rituals and Thai values of right behavior toward the environment.

What does it mean when a tree is ordained and how is tree ordination an expression of Thainess? While tree ordination ceremonies are varied, generally ordaining trees makes them into monks. An orange or yellow robe is tied around trees, sometimes to designate a whole forest area as being ordained (Tannenbaum 109).

These photos are from the Tree Ordination cermony, held in Donjiang, Thailand, Sunday 26 January.
