The act of carving up a tree on public land can seem like a desecration: our forests are our natural cathedrals, after all, at least according to the classic cliché. But as writer and oral historian Lyndsie Bourgon points out in her new book Tree Thieves, crime in the forest is a bit more complicated.

Lyndsie Bourgon: Tree Thieves

How do we live on this Earth? How should we? Our answers to these questions are shaped by our idea of "nature" as something separate from humanity.

re: Wild is a series of conversations with people who are pushing the boundaries of that old idea. We'll talk to people who -- instead of conceiving of the wilderness as a place apart -- live, eat, and work in a more-than-human world.

New episodes drop twice a month, on the first and third Wednesdays.
