Thanks Matt. Great piece. The ‘arboreal theory’ you mentioned reminded me of how I spent most of my childhood up in trees.

Thanks Jordan! Have you ever read Richard Preston's The Wild Trees? I really enjoyed it and wanted to revisit it for this piece, but I must have loaned it to someone. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22163.The_Wild_Trees

Wonderful article! I love how the thread of trees is traced through history, evolution, biology, climate, literature, and personal experience! I also have some new books to add to my reading list!
