Because I need to start migrating some decks over here...
This one had its first run on Friday night, after spending 3-6 months waiting for the final pieces.
I had wondered if anyone else would show up over here. Glad to see you did!
Thanks! Really, the fact that this forum didn't exist was the only thing ever keeping me off MTGS. Now my only issue is how to deal with the duplication of threads across two sites!
Have you considered changing out Lignify with Beast Within? Sure, the former card is more thematic, but BW is much more flexible.
The only trouble there is that Lignify is fetchable by Treefolk Harbinger while Beast Within isn't. Which is a damned shame - I really, really want to find excuses to start slipping BW into my decks!

I built a Treefolk deck, and it was kinda up and down. That may have been due to my card choices though. [/digression]
One thing it did have that was really effective and fun:
(a) Leaf-Crowned Elder, may arguably be the best Treefolk there is. Not only card advantage, but tempo advantage too. Dude does some crazy things, especially with stuff like Worldly Tutor, Noxious Revival and...
(b) Combo-ing (a) with Treefolk Harbinger makes for some really busted plays, assuming you can keep the Elder alive. Essentially it allows you to tutor for any creature to have it come right into play.
(c) Combo-ing (b) with Unstoppable Ash gives you a pretty tough wash-rinse-repeat cycle to crack.
You may want to consider Cultivate or Skyshroud Claim instead of Nature's Lore. I love me some N.L., but in a mono-green deck its biggest strength (getting forest-based duals) isn't taken advantage of. Still, its got a nice casting cost - so it depends which is more important to you between the cheaper cost vs. additional lands.
Bosk Banneret is worth a look too. Though if you want to use this cat, he generally pairs best with Search for Tomorrow for super-sexy ramping action.
Weatherseed Treefolk is always a bad mofo. Not necessarily for combo reasons, just because he's really difficult to get rid of.
Lastly, a solid spell choice for some card draw/life gain is Momentous Fall. Granted it comes down to how often you have 4 mana untapped for it, but it is a beast of a card in a fatty deck.
Hope it helps!

I cannot run Nemata and Verdeloth without Gaea's Cradle. It is a small, but worthwhile change, if you have one.
Cheers!

I've got one, but it's in the 100-card Elf deck ATM (and just aided in a game-ending 48-point Rolling Thunder on Friday night). I need a second...
