Who is this book suitable for? Suitable for nature enthusiasts who wish to explore trees in detail, and for travelers who let a landscape or species guide their trip choices. The book can be enjoyed at home as a photographic journey of discovery or used to find a tree you wish to learn more about. The English text provides both factual background and local stories, allowing you to alternate between botany and the surrounding landscape of the tree.
From inspiration to your own plan. Use the guide before departure to select experiences you truly desire and see them in the context of the rest of your trip. A plan with fewer stops can allow more time to become acquainted with each location. Browse with your travel companions, compare ideas, and find a balance between what you wish to achieve and what you want time to experience. Allow space for breaks and detours. A physical book is excellent to return to when discussing the next leg of the journey. Revisit an idea you have noted and let the plan evolve as you become familiar with the destination.
