Twenty years ago Chelsea Green published the first trade edition
of The Man Who Planted Trees, a timeless eco-fable about what one
person can do to restore the earth. The hero of the story, Elzeard
Bouffier, spent his life planting one hundred acorns a day in a
desolate, barren section of Provence in the south of France. The
result was a total transformation of the landscape-from one devoid
of life, with miserable, contentious inhabitants, to one filled
with the scent of flowers, the songs of birds, and fresh, flowing
water.
Since our first publication, the book has sold over a quarter of
a million copies and inspired countless numbers of people around
the world to take action and plant trees. On National Arbor Day,
April 29, 2005, Chelsea Green released a special twentieth
anniversary edition with a new foreword by Wangari Maathai, winner
of the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize and founder of the African Green Belt
Movement.
