Add a CommentA beautiful and beautifully written ode to the life cycle of the Douglas Fir tree. Includes information on the fauna that depend on these majestic trees through it’s various life stages and a fascinating bit on the symbiotic relationship between the tree roots and the native truffle mycelium.
Gorgeous watercolour paintings illustrate this lovely book about the life cycles of old growth forests...focusing on the Douglas Fir.
