We enjoy stories about trees, the environment, and those that help us understand our relationship to the natural world.
Here is a collection of books I have enjoyed reading in the branches and beneath my favorite trees. Grab a book and enjoy an afternoon of reading in the trees!

One Square Inch of Silence: One Man's Quest to Preserve Quiet by Gordon Hempton & John Grossman - Where to buy
"One Square Inch of Silence alerts us to beauty that we take for granted and sounds an urgent environmental alarm. Natural silence is our nation’s fastest-disappearing resource, warns Emmy-winning acoustic ecologist Gordon Hempton, who has made it his mission to record and preserve it in all its variety—before these soul-soothing terrestrial soundscapes vanish completely in the ever-rising din of man-made noise."
