Eating Dirt: Deep Forests, Big Timber, and Life with… di Charlotte Gill

Read for Science/Nature challenge.

Eating Dirt, Deep Forests, Big Timber and Life with… di Charlotte Gill

Good read and interesting story of a lady who spent 20 years planting trees in British Columbia. As a forester, I found it very interesting.

Eating Dirt: Deep Forests, Big Timber, and Life with… di Charlotte Gill

A season in the life of a professional tree-planter in British Columbia. Charlotte Gill writes with the skill and talent of John McPhee, interweaving science and history with her narrative in masterfully descriptive prose. I highly recommend it.

Her writing is beautifully poetic in places and deserving of all the accolades received.… (altro)
