Instruction manual for the forest

The forests are his professional home, and working with trees is his life. During guided forest walks, the passionate forester and author Peter Wohlleben shares his vast knowledge about trees. His manual is both a practical and atmospheric exploration. Informative and entertaining, he introduces the most important broadleaf and conifer species: what characterizes them, which ones have a future, and which truly offer protection during thunderstorms. How to navigate in the forest without a compass or GPS. Where camping, making fires, and grilling are allowed. How to properly read animal tracks and the best times and places to observe wildlife. How to protect yourself naturally from mosquitoes, forest ants, and ticks. What experiences await with children and what it's like to spend a night alone in the woods. What a forest walk is like in spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
