Living with Trees : Grow, protect and celebrate the trees and woods in your community by Robin Walter

We love trees! They lock up carbon, mitigate flooding, provide habitat for wildlife and increase our health and wellbeing. They can often be underappreciated though so we thoroughly recommend this book celebrating them.

Living with Trees : Grow, protect and celebrate the trees and woods in your community by Robin Walter with a foreword by Judi Dench and introduction by Richard Mabey
Paperback RRP £25

Living with Trees is a powerful call for more trees in our lives. Drawing on the many ways that people around the UK are redefining their relationship with trees and woods in the twenty-first century – in healthcare, education, ecology, art, architecture, agroforestry, conservation – it demonstrates how caring for trees and woods enhances local biodiversity, community cohesion and well-being.

Trees and woods offer great potential for rebuilding our wider relationship with nature, reinforcing local identity and sustaining wildlife. We need more trees and woods in our lives, to lock up carbon, to mitigate flooding, to help shade our towns and cities and bring shelter, wildlife and beauty to places.

Living with Trees is a cornucopia of practical information, good examples and new ideas that will inspire, guide and encourage people to reconnect with the trees and woods in their community, so we can all discover how to value, celebrate and protect our arboreal neighbours.

Foreword by Dame Judi Dench and Introduction by Richard Mabey
