" Out on a Limb is a fascinating exploration into the importance of urban forests and the immense value that trees provide to our lives and cities. It is a needed call to action towards an ecologically focused future." -- Dr. Suzanne Simard, Professor of Forest Ecology, lead of the Mother Tree Project Program, and author of Finding the Mother Tree and When the Forest Breathes " Out on a Limb is an inspiring journey to meet some of Erna Buffie's favourite trees in an unlikely place - Winnipeg's urban forests. Along the way we discover not only what urban trees need to survive, but just how much we need them to thrive in our cities. This book is a celebration of a tree lover and her journey to save them." -- Caroline Underwood, former Executive Producer and a wildlife science filmmaker for The Nature of Things " Out On a Limb is a practical and passionate guide to preserving and growing the urban tree canopy, It is a much needed clarion call for our ecological future." -- Helen Humphreys, author of Followed By the Lark.
