About this ebook

A charming ode to trees and pocket-sized guide to appreciating them in their full glory.

Often overlooked amid the hustle and bustle of our modern world, trees have many lessons to impart. In this portable guide crafted to kindle a sense of curiosity and wonder as we explore the nature of trees, you’ll discover:
  • The inner workings of the roots, trunk, and crown
  • How trees foster community in the wilderness
  • The basics of forest bathing
  • The grounding benefits of peaceful observation

With meditative practices and astounding facts, Pocket Nature: Tree Hugging encourages us to slow down and spend time with our oldest earthly companions.

APPRECIATING TIME OUTDOORS: Tree observation is an enjoyable pastime that gets you outside, moves your body, and calms your mind. With mindful activities sprinkled throughout, this is more than a guide to tree identification; it is also an invitation to spend more time in nature and away from screens.

Package the book with a pair of pruning shears, sturdy gloves, a woodcut-themed journal, or other books in the Pocket Nature series for a delightful anytime gift.
