Introduced by Jon Woolcott
This illustrated talk of Robin’s book ‘Living With Trees’ considers the epic history of trees in Britain, noting what we have lost, celebrating what remains, and imagining a future with more trees in our lives. Why do we have so much less forest than continental Europe? Why does this matter? Why is everyone suddenly so keen to plant trees? How should we go about this? All these issues are illuminated and Robin goes on to imagine how the British landscape might be transformed with trees.
