Trees are the often unnoticed, ubiquitous backdrop to our lives, sustaining life and providing shade and resources for millennia.
Sophie Cunningham (This Devastating Fever, City of Trees) is a non-fiction writer and novelist with a passion for trees, walking and broader environmental issues. She also posts a tree everyday on her Instagram account @sophtreeofday. In Where the Trees Were and Understory: A Life with Trees, Inga Simpson reflects on trees as living beings and wood as a culturally and socially significant resource.
Consider these quiet, majestic beings in this conversation with Sophia and Inga with host Ashley Hay.
