Written by positive psychology practitioner and long-time tree-lover Cheryl Rickman. Tree Glee explores how trees can become an essential part of our wellbeing toolkit, helping us to feel better mentally, physically, creatively and emotionally.

Trees provide us with the necessities of life - they clean the air we breathe, fill us with awe as we walk through forests and provide timber for the houses we live in, yet there are deeper reasons for our arboreal admiration that go beyond utility and beauty.

Tree Glee looks at the psychology behind our fascination with trees, examining exactly how they comfort, restore and revitalise us and what we can learn from the wisdom of woodlands to improve our own wellbeing. It explores the importance of trees in our leafy suburbs and urban landscapes, sharing magical stories of remarkable ancient trees across the globe and inviting readers to reflect on their own personal 'treestory'.

This is an ode and love letter to trees, a practical wellbeing guide, a nature-connection manual and a call to action.

Featuring captivating photos and with chapters on forest bathing and nature therapy, woodland wellbeing and tree mythology, conservation initiatives and creative activities, this book explores how by deepening our appreciation and connection to trees and by celebrating and protecting them, we and the trees that surround us can flourish together.
