"As to the last sentence, what do you
imagine they've been saying over the eons from before the time of land
creatures, before the dawn of man?"

Kurt Vonnegut expressed my feelings about
this when he said:
"When the last living thing
has died on account of us,
how poetical it would be
if Earth could say,
in a voice floating up from the floor of the
Grand Canyon
[or the limbs of trees],
'It is done.'
People did not like it here.'"
I think the trees are pleading for
the survival of the Earth.

I guess you have to see the photograph that
accompanies this quotation in order to understand it
completely.
The photograph shows a "single tree," with
branches looking like arms reaching for the heavens. My take on it is
that no matter what or how much time passes, trees have their branches, with
the winds whispering through the leaves, reaching toward heaven. The
trees can never be silenced.
But then, I'm a romantic {:->
