A New Zealand native felt inspired to create his own church with a slightly different – it’s made entirely of living trees. Barry Cox owns his own business that happens to specialize in moving living trees, replanting them successfully using massive machinery known as spades.

Tree locations, the name of Brain’s company, obviously helped with his goals of creating a unique looking church that is made entirely of various tree specimens that helps to give it the appearance of a church.
