Somehow this theme seemed lacking. Sure, there are asterisks to tell us which clues the "trees" should be applied to, but with all trees looking the same, it felt weird that they all represented different letters. And sure, those letters spelled out "forest," but still... And there's grid art that approximates a tree... but I don't know, it just didn't do it for me.
Two interesting things I learned today - São PAULO is the "most populous city in the Southern Hemisphere," and The JETSONS was "ABC's first program broadcast in color." Cool.

I really liked this one. We haven't seen anything like it, have we? I printed the puzzle, so I didn't have the benefit of the tree images: my adjacent squares were just (ink saver) black. Yes, I think early grade-school kids definitely still use lunch boxes. Some older students too, although almost always the fabric kind with zippers fro them. I enjoyed the two factoids you mentioned, also the one about Swedes comprising almost half of Scandinavians. THITHER and SOLACES are pleasant words, aren't they?
