Tree Book Passages

Welcome, listeners, to the Tree Book Passages (formerly Tree Book Fan Page), a tree book podcast and ⁠shop⁠. We are Doug Still, arborist and host of This Old Tree podcast and Georgia Silvera Seamans, a lapsed arborist and host of the Your Bird Story podcast.

Today's review is of The Nature of Oaks by Douglas Tallamy. Tallamy is a professor of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware. He looks at oak ecology through the eyes of an entomologist: the special interaction oak trees have with scores of insects, and thus birds, animals, soils. And of course people. He has a message to all of us that resonates whether you are a homeowner with a yard or resident of a City neighborhood. Which is the single best thing you can do for your local ecology is plant an oak tree.
