Editorial Reviews
Carol Bly
Everyone who loves trees knows what a beating they take--from fire, from animals, from ice and storms, and most of all from people, but Peter Bundy is story teller and hope giver as well as forestry expert. This is no soft retirement philosophy about a harmonious nature. Bundy doesn't deny the "cruel streak" in nature, where every kind of species, including trees, compete with neighbors for light and nourishment. Old trees compete for light against their own young. Fires that devastate one kind of growth are a breath of hope to another because a powerful enemy has been burnt up. And European and Asian history is a long story of humankind overharvesting forests until they are gone.
Book Description
Finding the Forest is a series of vignetes that offer a different vision of the forest. This vision challenges many of today's assumptions about trees, preservation and forestry practices.
