In this episode, I talk with tree science consultant and writer Harriet Rix. Harriet’s diverse career has taken her from the biochemistry lab, to landmine clearance efforts in Iraq, to advocating for Britain's treescape. Her first book, Earth, Wind and Fire: How Trees Mastered the Elements and Conquered the World, will be published in summer 2025.
