About Keepers of the TreesIn this gorgeous book, naturalist Ann Linnea has profiled 14 people across North America whose stories illuminate the fascinating interdependence between people and trees. She found ordinary people with extraordinary dedication to, appreciation for, and knowledge of trees. Readers are invited into these personable stories and offered an intermingling of education and science that makes the book a valuable and entertaining contribution to dendrology – the study of trees."Within a five-mile radius of wherever you are reading this book," Ann Linnea believes, "there are dozens of 'keepers of the trees'—people whose lives and connections to trees have come together, growth ring by growth ring. Come meet the keepers on these pages, and start looking for and joining those around you." To read excerpts, watch video, or purchase the book, visit the Keepers of the Trees book page on the PeerSpirit web site. Keepers of the Trees is illustrated with over 100 color photographs—a marvelous gift book for any occasion. |
About Ann LinneaEducator, naturalist, consultant, wilderness guide and earth steward—these are just a few of the appropriate titles to describe author Ann Linnea. Ann came on the national writing scene through her memoir of kayaking Lake Superior, Deep Water Passage. She has spent decades in nature coming to understand the interconnectedness of all things. She now brings that wisdom indoors to the complexities of human interaction in work and community settings, and takes people outdoors to perceive anew their human/nature connection. Her presence is calming, informative, and inspirational. |
