# The Company of Trees by Thomas Pakenham (Paperback)

**'The master. Puts all other modern tree-writers in the shade' John Lewis-Stempel, author of _Meadowland_**

Thomas Pakenham is an indefatigable champion of trees. In _The Company of Trees_ he recounts his personal quest to establish a large arboretum on the family estate, Tullynally in Ireland; his forays to other tree-filled parks and plantations; his often hazardous seed-hunting expeditions; and his efforts to preserve magnificent old trees and historic woodlands.

Whether writing about the terrible storms breaking the backs of hundred-year-old trees or a fire in the peat bog on Tullynally which threatens to spread to the main commercial spruce-woods, his fear of climate change and disease, or the sturdy young saplings giving him hope for the future, his book is never less than enthralling.
