This is such an important book, brimming with so much information about what trees and plants do for us, and yet, how horribly humans have treated them and the people who speak for them. I loved learning about the Celtic and Druidic traditions as well!

This was a good read but not quite what I had expected. The first third reads like a memoir. The second third is focused on conservation. The final third is an introduction the ancient Celtic wisdom of trees (with both traditional and botanical insights into each species of trees).

I really enjoyed learning about the author and her life growing up. I enjoyed she lessons she recounted about Celtic knowledge of plants and their healing properties. I also was absolutely delighted by the times where she stood up in fiery defiance of governments and corporations trying to hurt communities and land. She was engaging and interesting, and I do eventually want to reread the last couple hours of the audiobook where she specifically discussed the alphabet and the plants that each letter represented and why they were considered sacred.
