BOOK REVIEWS
"Martin R. Ford does an extraordinary job with this book. I read every book on trees that I can find, and I found this book “Why Trees? How to Love Trees” both an education and an inspiration."

"Martin explains how trees play a vital role in improving life in our communities and why investing in tree health pays big dividends in healthy air, reduced crime, and climate adaptation."
Mike Schreiner
MPP for Guelph and leader of the Ontario Green Party
"Martin R. Ford presents a thoughtful, perceptive, and sometimes poetic argument that trees are primary to the well-being of city life. This is a book that should be in every school library in the country to educate children on the importance of trees to the well-being of our lives. After you have read this book (I’m going to go out on a limb here) you will never, ever look at a tree in the same way again."
