As an environmental photographer I have often found that certain books have served as my blueprints and roadmaps. Without doubt The Hidden Life of Trees is one of them. This a wonderful read, and I enjoyed it immensely. I’ll echo what I read from one reviewer, "The Hidden Life of Trees” is an amazing book presenting trees as sentient, purposeful beings living in dynamic relationship with each other.”
