'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.
