In her new book, Take to the Trees, science journalist Marguerite Holloway offers an empowering journey into the overstory with the arborists and forest experts safeguarding our iconic trees. Holloway explores stories of beloved tree species and spotlights experts exploring the ecology of resilience amidst climate-driven plagues of pests and drought. Take to the Trees brings attention to rapid arboreal decline while also offering hope about how we might care for our forests and ourselves.
