On the Sofa (with books): Trees and People.

Today’s book is ‘Sprout Lands – Tending the Endless Gift of Trees’ by William Bryant Logan. A wonderful book charting the symbiotic relationship between humans and trees…..it opens up all sorts of thoughts and discussions around biodiversity, the human hand on landscape/countryside, regenerative agriculture, wildness vs managed flora and fauna. A quest which takes the author all over the world to glean knowledge and ways on the cusp of being lost…… As always, a book review which prompts so much more than just the book……..and a quick walk, at the end, in my neighbourhood to show you examples of pollarded trees at various stages.
