Reviews

"""A remarkable and important book. Readers with an interest in the environment, the life of a forest or living women pioneers would do well to add it to their library."" --January Magazine ""Once in a while you encounter a book so special, so steeped in love and integrity that--regardless of subject matter--it's impossible not to be drawn in. Not Just Trees is that sort of book."" --January Magazine"

Once in a while you encounter a book so special, so steeped in love and integrity that--regardless of subject matter--it's impossible not to be drawn in. Not Just Trees is that sort of book.
