Wohlleben with THOR HANSON at Bellingham High School

The Power of Trees

How Ancient Forests Can Save Us if We Let Them

Village Books and the North Cascades have teamed up once again, to bring you another great event in the Nature of Writing Series, and this one is a doozy!

Peter Wohlleben will present his latest book, The Power of Trees and he will be in conversation with another bestselling author and naturalist, Thor Hanson!

The Power of Trees is forester Peter Wohlleben's follow-up to The Hidden Life of Trees, a New York Times bestseller that sold millions of copies worldwide. The Power of Trees is as fascinating and eyeopening as it is trenchant in its critique: on the one hand, Wohlleben describes astonishing discoveries about how trees pass knowledge down to succeeding generations and their ability to survive climate change; on the other, he is unsparing in his criticism of those who wield economic and political power—who plant trees exclusively for the sake of logging and virtue-signaling, even as they ruthlessly exploit nature.
