Forest Walking: Discovering the Trees and Woodlands of North America

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, using taste, touch, smell, sound, and sight to decode nature’s signs and awaken to the ancient past and thrilling present of the ecosystem around you. 

Peter Wohlleben teams up with his longtime editor and translator, Jane Billinghurst. Together, they take you on a sensory tour of forests across North America based on their own experiences and observations: 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.
