Annual Author Talk with Marguerite Holloway

In Take to the Trees, journalist Marguerite Holloway explores the science, beauty, and importance of trees through her experience learning to climb them. As she takes on the challenges of tree climbing, she examines the threats facing forests worldwide while reflecting on the personal significance of trees in her own life. A lyrical blend of memoir and environmental reporting, the book raises the alarm about forest decline while offering a message of hope.

Holloway has written for The New York Times, The New Yorker, Audubon, Wired, and Scientific American. She is a professor and Director of Science and Environmental Journalism at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism.
