How well do you really know the piece of land on which you live and garden, or the bigger landscape context it sits within\\u2014that forms your neighborhood, perhaps? A new book I\\u2019ve been reading called \\u201cThese Trees Tell a Story: The Art of Reading Landscapes\\u201d takes the reader along on explorations through a diversity of places, looking for hints on how to \\u201cknow thy land,\\u201d as its author Noah Charney suggests.
\\n\\n\\n\\nNoah is an assistant professor of conservation biology at the University of Maine and coauthor with Charley Eiseman of the award-winning field guide \\u201cTracks and Sign of Insects and Other Invertebrates\\u201d \\u2013 one of my much-used favorites.
\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nOn the website of the publisher of Noah\\u2019s latest book, Yale University Press, it describes it as a \\u201cdeeply personal master class on how to read a natural landscape and unravel the clues to its unique ecological history.\\u201d
\\n\\n\\n\\nI\\u2019m glad to welcome Noah Charney as my guest today and learn more.
