Synopsis

We  cut down billions of trees every year – Today only five percent of the  world’s old growth forests remain intact. Yet trees are one of this  planet’s most significant creators of food, new medicines, and oxygen.  Forests hold the answer to many of the world’s problems; from climate  change to human health and well-being. Visionary scientist and acclaimed  author Diana Beresford-Kroeger explores the science, folklore, and  history of this essential eco-system reminding us that when we improve our profound human connection to woodlands we can, not only, restore our health - we can restore our planet.

From  the sacred sugi and cedar forests of Japan, the ancient Raheen Wood of  Ireland, and the walnut and redwood trees of America, to the great  boreal forest of Canada, Call of the Forest tells the amazing stories  behind the history and legacy of these ancient forests while also  explaining the science of trees and the irreplaceable roles they play in  protecting and feeding the planet.
