Tree Herders

A book about nature on our doorsteps

A report about a fascinating job 

A contagiously passionate and well-founded book

For fans of trees, climbing and timber sports

For men who do not think climbing only refers to their career A book for men about teamwork, technology, sweat and stamina. Every day, the tree herders face the challenge of negotiating between nature and civilisation and ensuring safety where they co-exist. But what are a tree’s needs? What do you do when old trees, which for years have withstood wind and weather, are to fall victim to a dispute with a neighbour? The tree herders are just as at home on construction sites as in the forests, and they are living the dream of outdoors folk. Chainsaws are an everyday occurrence for them. And the preparations for the next tree climbing competition are on their minds. However, it is all worth it. An adventurous life for nature freaks.
