From an esteemed National Geographic explorer and forest ecologist, a charming collection of thought-provoking essays exploring the meaning of trees in our lives. Telephone poles, baseball bats, railroad ties. Peaches, nutmeg, and vanilla. The more you look, the more you realize: Our world depends on products made from trees.

Inspired by Nadkarni's popular podcast broadcast by Utah's public radio station KUER, TreeNotes comprises more than 45 brief essays, organized by season.
