An overview depicting many of Canada’s great trees. This small book brims with stories about some of Canada’s notable trees including the ages-old redwood forests of Axel Heiberg Island in Canada’s Arctic, and the petrified forests in the Bay of Fundy at Joggins, which bear trees that lived before the Atlantic Ocean was born. Other stories, like the plight of the once mighty American Chestnut, are chronicled, as are trees great and small across one of the most heavily-treed landscapes in the world.
