For the Trees: an anthology of 35 tree communicators from around the world
As the realities of climate reshape our world, humanity stands at a turning point, searching not just for solutions, but for a deeper relationship with the living Earth.
For the Trees invites readers into the next great paradigm shift: recognizing the intelligence, sensitivity and presence of the plant kingdom, just as we came to understand the sentience of animals. This groundbreaking anthology opens a doorway into the hidden world of trees—beings that communicate, collaborate and sustain life in ways we are only beginning to comprehend.
Featuring insights from Jane Goodall alongside 35 visionary contributors from around the world, this collection weaves together lived experience, art and science. The voices within include artists, musicians, an instrument maker, a landscape architect, authors, an organic fruit-tree master grower, a cloner of ancient champion trees, teachers and healers, each offering unique perspectives shaped by decades of deep connection with trees.
Their powerful stories and reflections will inspire wonder, evoke emotion and challenge perceptions. Readers are invited not only to witness these relationships, but to cultivate their own, learning new ways to listen, respond to and co-create with the natural world. In doing so, they may rediscover a sense of aliveness, harmony and belonging with Nature.

For the Trees is more than a book; it is a call to renew our bond with the natural world and to take part in restoring balance and wholeness on Earth.
This work brings together 35 tree communicators from around the world.
The book that is in the world “For the Trees” has a lavender coloured linen cover. There isn’t an author’s name on the cover. It is a book co-created with the Trees themselves.
It has been printed exquisitely by Friesen’s press in Canada. Vegetable inks. Paper that is sourced ensuring ancient forests are not cut down. Truth told by 35 authors of their lived experiences with the sentience and consciousness of Trees.
It is being read aloud to Trees, Lakes and Rivers. It is being read aloud in groups of human beings. It is inspiring new ideas and experiences.
The book came into the world through the generosity of over a hundred individuals who helped in so many different ways and it is going into the world via connectedness. One person to another. Word of mouth. There is only one way to find copies and it is via a path of love through individuals.
This is what Diana Beresford Kroeger said about the book:
“Sometimes the love of trees and forests gets the benediction of determination…and a book is born. “For the Trees” is one of those that should be read carefully and treasured.”
–Dr. Diana Beresford-Kroeger, author of Our Green Heart: The Soul and Science of Forests
