The Little Book of Disappearing Trees
Did you know that as many as one in three of the world’s tree species are thought to be threatened with extinction?
Within the arboretum we currently care for over 100 threatened tree species and the latest edition of ‘The Little Book of Disappearing Trees’ introduces some of the endangered trees we look after.
The Little Book of Disappearing Trees is a beautifully designed, photo-illustrated and easy-to-read book that explains Westonbirt Arboretum’s active role in tree conservation and the partnership work that is being carried out both nationally and internationally to understand, research and care for endangered tree species.
The Little Book of Disappearing Trees is available to purchase at the Westonbirt shop in person for £4.95 or online and posted directly to you for £7.99.
