A deep and explorative companion piece to the Roger Deakin Award-winning The Draw of The Sea (2023). Wyl travelled throughout 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, to better understand the woods they know so well, the joys and frustrations of working with a living material, and the stories of their craft and skills.
