When and how did we humans lose our connection with nature - and
how do we find it again? Matthew Yeomans seeks to answer these
questions as he walks more than 300 miles through the ancient and
modern forests of Wales, losing himself in their stories (and on
the odd unexpected diversion, too). Return to My Trees weaves
together history and folklore with tales of industrial progress and
decay. On his journey, he visits landmarks that once were home to
ancient Druids, early Celtic saints, Norman Lords and the great
mining communities that reshaped Wales. He becomes immersed in the
woodlands that inspired the country's great legends. At one point
he even stumbles upon a herd of television-watching cows. As
Yeomans walks, he reflects on these woods' uncertain future, his
own relationship with nature and the global problems we need to
solve if humans are to truly make peace with the natural world.
from tree-planting in ways that are actually beneficial to the
environment and local communities to embedding the value of nature
into our financial and economic systems. The result is a
fascinating and funny adventure that offers insight into the past,
present and future of Wales's woodlands and shows what the rest of
the world can learn from them.
