Description

A deep and explorative companion piece to his Roger Deakin Award-winning??The Draw of The Sea,??Wyl Menmuir's??The Heart of The Woods??explores?how?our lives are intertwined with those of the trees and woodlands around us.?Throughout history, trees have determined the tools we use, the boats we build, the stories we tell about the world and ourselves, the songs we sing, and some of our most important rituals. In this journey deep into the woods, Wyl travels the length and breadth of Britain and Ireland to meet the people who plant trees, the ecologists who study them, those who shape beautiful objects and tools from wood, and those who use them to help others. Wyl also explores how our relationship with trees is enduring, now and in the future - what we get out of spending time around trees, the ways in which our relationship with them has changed over time, and the ways in which our future is interconnected with theirs.
