"As tree scientist, I am fascinated by the magnificent biology of trees. I also
find it enthralling and encouraging that trees are being appreciated by writers
around the world right now.
Three fresh books (chosen from a wider field of titles on the topic) exemplify
how trees can be written about as more than just background or an incidental
part of a landscape, but as integral to meaning.
My Forests: Travel with Trees by Janine Burke, The Heartbeat of Trees by Peter
Wohlleben, and Tree Story, a collection curated by Charlotte Day and Brian
Martin — are mixed in style and content. But all make clear the close
relationships between people and trees and the vital importance of those
connections.
It is not surprising that at a time of significant climate change, where
natural ecosystems around the world are being devastated and after 18 months of
a global pandemic, books on trees are proving popular."
