The City Tree
A newly planted sidewalk tree in the city transforms the neighborhood as residents nurture it through the seasons. Includes information on how readers can help street trees.
The Power of Trees
As we enter the fall season, we’re reminded of the amazing natural changes that occur around us at this time of the year. One of the most noticeable is, of course, watching trees shed their leaves and showcase their bare branches. Trees are such an important part of our outdoor world and taking the time to look closely at them truly brings out their power. These books look at the remarkable relationships that can happen between humans and trees.
