![]() ![]() ![]() I found myself reading out whole chunks to friends'Ĭolin Tudge started his first tree nursery in his garden aged 11, marking his life-long interest in trees. 'Everyone interested in the natural world will enjoy The Secret Life of Trees. ![]() Tudge is as illuminating a guide as one could wish for' 'One of those books you want everyone to have already read' Lyrical and evocative, this book will make everyone fall in love with the trees around them. Here, Colin Tudge travels from his own back garden round the world to explore the beauty, variety and ingenuity of trees everywhere: from how they live so long to how they talk to each other and why they came to exist in the first place. Yet while the stories of trees are as plentiful as leaves in a forest, they are rarely told. What is a tree? As this celebration of the trees shows, they are our countryside our ancestors descended from them they gave us air to breathe. Colin Tudge's The Secret Life of Trees: How they Live and Why they Matter explores the hidden role of trees in our everyday lives - and how our future survival depends on them. ![]()
