The Journeys of Trees: A Story about Forests, People, and the Future By: Zach St George [Audiobook]

Author: Zach St. George
Narrated by: Daniel Henning

Forests are restless. Any time a tree dies or a new one sprouts, the forest that includes it has shifted. When new trees sprout in the same direction, the whole forest begins to migrate, sometimes at astonishing rates. Today, however, an array of obstacles – humans felling trees by the billions, invasive pests transported through global trade – threaten to overwhelm these vital movements. Worst of all, the climate is changing faster than ever before, and forests are struggling to keep up.  

A deft blend of science reporting and travel writing, The Journeys of Trees explores the evolving movements of forests by focusing on five trees: giant sequoia, ash, black spruce, Florida torreya, and Monterey pine. Journalist Zach St. George visits these trees in forests across continents, finding sequoias losing their needles in California, fossil records showing the paths of ancient forests in Alaska, domesticated pines in New Zealand, and tender new sprouts of blight-resistant American chestnuts in New Hampshire. Everywhere he goes, St. George meets lively people on conservation’s front lines, from an ecologist studying droughts to an evolutionary evangelist with plans to save a dying species. He treks through the woods with activists, biologists, and foresters, each with their own role to play in the fight for the uncertain future of our environment.

Book Description
================
Forests are restless. Any time a tree dies or a new one sprouts, the 
forest that includes it has shifted. When new trees sprout in the same 
direction, the whole forest begins to migrate, sometimes at astonishing 
rates. Today, however, an array of obstacleshumans felling trees by 
the billions, invasive pests transported through global tradethreaten 
to overwhelm these vital movements. Worst of all, the climate is changing 
faster than ever before, and forests are struggling to keep up.
A deft blend of science reporting and travel writing, The Journeys of 
Trees explores the evolving movements of forests by focusing on five 
trees: giant sequoia, ash, black spruce, Florida torreya, and Monterey 
pine. Journalist Zach St. George visits these trees in forests across 
continents, finding sequoias losing their needles in California, fossil 
records showing the paths of ancient forests in Alaska, domesticated 
pines in New Zealand, and tender new sprouts of blight-resistant American 
chestnuts in New Hampshire. Everywhere he goes, St. George meets lively 
people on conservations front lines, from an ecologist studying droughts 
to an evolutionary evangelist with plans to save a dying species. He 
treks through the woods with activists, biologists, and foresters, each 
with their own role to play in the fight for the uncertain future of 
our environment.
An eye-opening investigation into forest migration past and present, 
The Journeys of Trees examines how we can all help our trees, and our 
planet, survive and thrive.
