""Branching Out is a significant contribution because the field of public history has for too long ignored natural history, in general, and trees, in particular.""--Lincoln Bramwell is chief historian of the USDA Forest Service and author of Wilderburbs: Communities on Nature's Edge ""By focusing on trees as witnesses to the past, living embodiments of generations of human memories, and markers of our care (or carelessness) towards the environment, public historians can learn much from Branching Out about better preservation practices and protections.""--Leisl Carr Childers, author of The Size of the Risk: Histories of Multiple Use in the Great Basin
