A stunning collection of artwork from the Arborealists, a group of highly skilled artists who feature trees, forests, and woodland as their most vital subjects.

Over the past decade, the Arborealists’ diverse and influential work has highlighted protected woodlands’ history and changing landscapes, as well as illuminating the enchantment of ancient trees. Each member has developed their own artistic language, showcasing manifold applications in everything from scale, medium, style, and philosophical approach. This beautiful book celebrates the natural world and showcases the diverse work of thirty-six artists.

The volume includes an introduction to the Arborealists by Philippa Beale, a founding member, as well as information on some of the site-specific projects undertaken by the collective, written by the president of the Arborealists, Tim Craven.
