Their belief is that Rhyn, the God of Nature, has a special connection to the tree and that spirits prefer to stay and live inside them. While cutting down and using the lumber for buildings is not what they do, they do use it for pipes that they smoke, ritual fires, ceremonial sacrifices and statues and ornaments related to Rhyn.
