Rooted in Trees: True Stories from Canadian History

By: Robinson, Brenlee

Rooted in Trees is an easy-to-read entertaining collection of little-known true stories from Canadian history as seen through a tree focussed lens.

Rooted in Trees offers readers a fresh perspective on fostering relationships with trees. These sixteen easy-to-read deeply researched stories illuminate significant social events from Canada's past, all with trees at their centre. The stories originate from across Canada and range from the 1500's until today. Each story develops in its own emotional tone, and most conclude with an update on the current situations of the featured trees.

After exploring and reflecting on significant moments in Canadian history, readers find themselves feeling "a little bit more Canadian". This sense of connection is especially meaningful today as Canadian sovereignty is increasingly threatened. Rooted in Trees not only fosters an appreciation for nature but also strengthens national identity.

Because of its tree lore, its Canadian social history and its clear language, Rooted in Trees has wide appeal to many readers: nature lovers, folklore lovers, history buffs, visitors to Canada, new Canadians and long-time Canadians.
