Listening to Trees | A. K. Hellum
1 post
Combining personal experience with concrete fact, A.K. Helluma€(TM)s Listening to Trees tells the story of a mana€(TM)s lifelong journey to salvage todaya€(TM)s declining forests. In this enlightening account of Helluma€(TM)s half-century career as a forester, we become privy to our environmenta€(TM)s fragile state-of-being through the manipulation of forests that have been stripped of their resources and improperly regenerated over the span of a lifetime. As Hellum guides us on his journeys through the forests of Thailand, China, Guyana, and the Philippines, we emerge with a new understanding of how the smallest elements of the worlda€(TM)s ecosystem can have a significant and devastating impact on the environment at large. While reinforcing Stan Rowea€(TM)s lifea€(TM)s work as an environmentalist, Listening to Trees serves as a staunch reminder of the fragility of modern forests while providing a glimpse into the soul of an environmentalist pleading for his beloved timberland.
