    “Book Descriptions: When you walk in the woods, do you use all five senses to explore your surroundings? For most of us, the answer is no—but when we do, a walk in the woods can go from pleasant to immersive and restorative. Forest Walking teaches you how to get the most out of your next adventure by becoming a forest detective, decoding nature’s signs and awakening to the ancient past and thrilling present of the ecosystem around you.

    What can you learn by following the spread of a root, by tasting the tip of a branch, by searching out that bitter almond smell?

    What creatures can be found in a stream if you turn over a rock—and what is the best way to cross a forest stream, anyway?

    How can you understand a forest’s history by the feel of the path underfoot, the scars on the trees along the trail, or the play of sunlight through the branches?

    How can we safely explore the forest at night?

    What activities can we use to engage children with the forest?

    Throughout Forest Walking, the authors share experiences and observations from visiting forests across North America: from the rainforests and redwoods of the west coast to the towering white pines of the east, and down to the cypress swamps of the south and up to the boreal forests of the north.”
