Markers of time passing, they clear the air and regenerate our earth while we are responsible to care for their future.Following her travels around Japan, as she witnesses landslides, lumber and forests of falling ash, Tree is a beautiful series of essays that contemplate the most distinctive and eternal features of our natural world.
