And fortunately for tree huggers like us, there are endless books about nature and the environment available. That’s why we’ve compiled this ultimate list of awesome books about nature and trees.

This is the story of a man who set out on a mission to reforest the world by cloning the oldest, largest, and most resilient trees - champion trees - to create a Noah's Ark of tree genetics.

Ever wonder if your plants have feelings? This absorbing and often surprising book looks at how plants respond to touch, sound, smell, sight, and even memory. Using the latest research in genetics, Chamovitz reveals that we may have more in common with trees and flowers than we realize!
First published in 1836, this epic philosophical essay looks at humanity, spirituality, and nature. It lays the foundations for transcendentalism: the idea that the natural world is divine and that accepting its divinity will allow us to become one with our surroundings. If you feel like delving into big questions like “What is matter?” then this one is for you.
A beautiful examination of an often overlooked element of our natural world: moss. Through a series of personal essays, Kimmerer explores what moss can teach us in both a scientific and spiritual sense, looking at its biological importance as well as its significance in Native American culture.
A classic collection by Scottish-American naturalist, environmental philosopher, and wilderness activist, John Muir (aka “John of the Mountains”). During the late 1800s, Muir explored the American West and wrote of its beauty, contributing to the establishment of Yosemite National Park, Sequoia National Park and many other wilderness areas.
A brilliant visual exploration of the forest through poetic and factual writing, coupled with stunning photography. Each chapter explores a different element of the forest - trees, plants, water, insects, wildlife, bacteria - all of which are shown to be connected in a magnificent web of life. The perfect coffee table book.
A playfully illustrated and colorful display of the function, structure, and personality of the natural world. Combining art and science, along with a little bit of humor, this book will leave you creatively inspired. If you're really looking for a deep dive, there's a Notebook Companion too!
Part environmental manifesto, part memoir, this heartfelt book invokes the inherent connection we all have with nature.

A brilliantly illustrated guide to plant life. From flowers to trees, bulbs to leaves, you'll gain scientific insights while enjoying a colorful feast for the visual senses. This book will inspire you to run outside and take a much closer look at the plant world around you!
A fascinating look at the ecology of forests and what they can tell us about the entire natural world. Focusing on a single square meter of old-growth Tennessee forest, biologist David Haskell tells the story of the life that flourishes beneath the surface through all four seasons.
The first edition of this book sparked the spiritual ecology movement, which recognizes the need for a deeper connection with the natural world. Through a collection of essays by Joanna Macey, Thich Nhat Hanh, Wendell Berry and many others, the reader is stirred from within towards an awakening to nature's spirit.
A visionary ecopsychology of human development that reveals how fully and creatively we can mature when soul and wild nature guide us. An approach to both personal growth and cultural transformation.
A bestseller that explores the rich psychic universe of plants, including how they respond to human nurturing, how they communicate, and other creative abilities.
The great work referred to in this book is the transition away from humans having a destructive influence on the planet, towards a presence that is benign or mutually beneficial. Berry goes through the ethics, politics, economics, education needed to move towards sustainability and a social appreciation of the earth that sustains us.
