For world-recognized scientist and visionary,
For world-recognized scientist and visionary, Diana Beresford-Kroeger, trees are a religion. In her eyes, forests are cathedrals that present humanity with numerous divine gifts including the source of the planet’s potential salvation. “I want to remind you that the forest is far more than a source of timber. It is our collective medicine cabinet. It is our lungs. It is the regulatory system for our climate and our oceans. It is the health and well-being of our children and grandchildren. It is the mantle of our planet and our sacred home.”
Orphaned at a young age in Ireland, Diana was the last child to receive a full Druidic education which immersed her in ancient Celtic wisdom before she attended University College, Cork where she gained an extensive scientific education. But she never forgot the old wisdom and Diana has spent a lifetime trying to understand trees and share that knowledge with the world. She has been the recipient of numerous awards and accolades for her work and has spent decades curating, planting and restoring the global forest. In addition to authoring numerous books on the topic Diana is also the subject of the documentary Call of the Forest: The Forgotten Wisdom of Trees (available on Amazon).
Our Green Heart is Diana’s latest book, and in it she challenges us all to dig deeper into the science of forests and the ways they will save us from climate breakdown – and then do our part to plant and protect them.
“The children of earth’s future need a world where these essential connections are revitalized and respected. We can give them this future by pledging to revive the global forest. Pick up a trowel. Plant a native tree every year for six years. It’s that simple”.
