Synopsis
Subtitled : A Celebration of People & Trees.
Beech, birch, ash, sycamore, oak. Maple, mango, hawthorn, cherry. Scots pine and Japanese cedar . . . The company of trees is different from that of any other living thing.
This is a story of the humans who love trees.
From tree sitters to nature lawyers, from climbers to climate strikers, from planters to pruners, from forest therapists to trauma survivors, from city gardeners to rewilders. These are voices of passion, sorrow, anger, nurture, solace and wonder. A story of people who have fought for trees; planted, found solace and fallen in love through them; felt uplifted and memorialised love ones; protected and sought to understand them. For the Love of Trees is a beautiful collection of stories and photographs exploring the powerful connection between people and trees.
Featuring: Kirsty Wark, Jackie Kay, Isabella Tree, Peter Wohlleben, Alastair Campbell and more.
Trees are our past and our present - our future, too. For The Love of Trees is about why trees matter and what we owe them. It’s about our humanity, our devotion and our sheer awe.
