What Forest Knows by George Ella Lyon

4.0

The cover looks so mysterious and frosty that it beckoned me to read What Forest Knows. It's a soft and gentle walk through a forest's year. George Ella Lyon shared an Aldo Leopold quote in the dedication, "The last word in ignorance is the man who says of an animal or plant, 'What good is it?' If the land mechanism as a whole is good, then every part is good, whether we understand it or not."

A forest is a beautiful, mysterious, and living part of our world. Lyon and Hall only share a beautiful glimpse into the happens of a forest. It would be interesting to see another book in a different ecosystem.
