Description
<p><b>An Atlantic Bestseller</b></p><p>New Brunswick is home to more than five billion trees, many native to the Acadian forest and some exotics introduced by settlers. For this new edition of <i>The Great Trees of New Brunswick</i> (the first edition was published in 1987), forester David Palmer and conservationist Tracy Glynn have prepared a book that doubles as an informative guide to the province’s native and introduced species and a compendium of “champion” trees, drawn from nominations from all corners of the province.</p><p>Divided into sections on hardwoods, softwoods, and exotics and lavishly illustrated with full-colour photographs, <i>The Great Trees of New Brunswick</i> features chapters on all thirty-two native species and nine introduced species. Each chapter includes information on the tree’s defining features, habitat and uses, as well as photographs and a detailed description of champion trees. Rounding out the book is an introductory essay on the Acadian forest — its history, survival, and future.</p><p>Whether you’re an avid hiker, outdoors person, or simply someone who wants to know more about the trees of the Acadian forest, you’ll find <i>The Great Trees of New Brunswick</i> to be an essential reference to New Brunswick’s forests and its panoply of trees.</p><p>Co-published with the Conservation Council of New Brunswick</p>
