The Tree Collectors: Tales of Arboreal Obsession

Ginger says: I recently talked Baylee’s ear off about my tree obsession on a Patreon bonus episode featuring the MMD Team’s Best Summer Books. I’ve long been interested in trees; ironically enough my origin story involves a theologian and a songwriter, but that’s a story for another day. This lushly illustrated book shows just how many different forms a hobby can take. Because of this book, I have tracked down obscure documentaries, headed out to my own local natural history museum to see wood collections, watched artists and environmentalists on YouTube, and joined Facebook groups so I can follow the circular tree forests of Ethiopia in which I am now deeply invested.
