Open your eyes to the secret language of trees

Trees tell a story, but only to those who know how to read it. They hold secrets about the land, the water, the people, the animals, the weather, time―and their own lives, the good and bad.

In How to Read a Tree, Gooley uncovers the clues hiding in plain sight: in a tree’s branches and leaves; its bark, buds, and flowers; even its stump. Leaves with a pale, central streak mean that water is nearby. Young, low-growing branches show that a tree is struggling. And reddish or purple bark signals new growth. Like snowflakes, no two trees are exactly the same. Every difference reveals the epic story this tree has lived―if we stop to look closely.

"We would be lucky to be lost in a forest with [Tristan Gooley]. Not just to find our way out―something he could surely help with―but to find our way in: to see what the trees are telling us about the Earth we all find ourselves a part of."
― The Atlantic
