A Deep Dive Into Trees

Peter Wohlleben is one of my favourite authors, and on good grounds. This time, the author explores our forests and trees on the back of a documentary he made. Throughout the book he references how tree planting schemes aren't always as good as they seem, how trees rely on their parent trees and what happens if they do not have one. I enjoyed listening to Peter document his fascination with trees and the variety of topics explored and felt it was well-balanced, making it not a dull read about all of our failings. Yes, it highlights many, but also explores what we should do, in some cases, are doing.
