New for 2025, extraordinary tales of famous forests and natural landmarks around the world, with roots in history through to today * Includes a wide variety of trees from around the world - with an emphasis on trees of note in the UK, Ireland, Australia, and the US. Well known sites are featured such as the General Sherman in California, US or the Red Forest in Ukraine, and armchair travellers can journey as far as Antarctica, Tenerife and Mexico to learn more about the natural world. * Almost all trees are living examples, and their sites can be visited. Whether the original tree still stands, or a descendent exists in its place: many of these trees are open to tourists and for the general public to view today. One such example the Major Oak in Sherwood Forest, boasts nearly 350,000 visitors every year. * This book will appeal to fans of both history and natural history. Featuring sites steeped in the past such as the Treaty Tree in South Africa, as well as scientific marvels like the Miraculous Mulberry in Montenegro: there is a story to pique everyone's interest. An interesting range of sites balance the Guinness Book of Natural Records-type entry with many historically insightful stories and the occasional tree-from-the-movie or famous book (such as the Tolkien Trees or the Dark Hedges seen in Game of Thrones).
