Tickets are available for this fantastic talk by Harriet Rix at www.twomoorsfestival.co.uk

When local author Harriet Rix started to write a book about how trees have shaped the world over the 390 million years of their development there was one place where she knew she had to go - to the oldest fossil forest in the world in upstate New York. Here, ancient root systems told the story of trees at their very beginning, shaping rivers and building up soil. Three months after that trip the Daily Mail announced “Earth’s oldest forest is discovered near Butlin’s in Somerset.” Starting, then, from the Devonian forests of Exmoor, Harriet will lead us from the Amazon, through Pakistan, Iraq and the trees of Europe, to reveal the genius of trees in all their multi stranded glory.
