Forest Walking: Discovering the Trees and Woodlands of North America by Jane Billinghurst, Peter Wohlleben

5.0

There was nothing in this book that I hadn't known already, but it was a very nice journey of rediscovery. If you are a seasoned outdoorsman, you will not stand to gain any new insight from this. The one who would benefit greatly from this book is the forest newbie. It is packed with great information one would need to understand the well-being and nature of our forests. It's nice to reconnect with nature with books like this to bring you back to the beginning, as a reminder of things you may take for granted. The more experienced you become with our forests, sometimes you lose what is considered as the basics. This book reels you back in with that base-level knowledge.
In an age where human beings have lost their ear to listen to nature and have forgotten how to feel our ancient connections with the Earth, "Forest Walking" is a good book to help re-open your eyes and teaches you how to hear our world around us through the trees and the very ground that gives them life.
Very touching and healing for those who want to reestablish a connection to the world we take so much for granted.
