Return to My Trees - Notes From the Welsh Woodlands

"When and how did humans lose their connection with nature--and how do we find it again? In Return to My Trees, Matthew Yeomans seeks to answer these questions as he walks more than 300 miles through the ancient and modern forests of Wales. Weaving history and folklore together with tales of industrial progress and decay, Yeomans immerses himself in the homes of ancient Druids, early Celtic saints, Norman lords, and early miners. As Yeomans walks, he reflects on the woodlands' uncertain future and how humans might make peace with the natural world."--Provided by publisher.
