Co-presented by
San Francisco Botanical GardenFrom the author of the bestselling
California Field Atlas, comes a major work that not only guides readers through the Golden State’s forested lands, but also presents a profoundly original vision of nature in the 21st century. Obi Kaufmann's newest release
The Forests of California (Heyday Books) features his signature watercolor maps and trail paintings, weaving them into an expansive and accessible exploration of the biodiversity that defines California in the global imagination. Kaufmann tells an epic story that spans millions of years, nearly 100 species of trees, and an astonishing richness of ecosystems. If Peter Wohlleben’s
The Hidden Life of Trees and Richard Powers’s
The Overstory opened readers’ eyes to the awesome power of arboreal life,
The Forests of California gives readers a unique and unprecedented immersion in that power. Kaufmann shares images and discusses his work with CCA Writing Chair Leslie Carol Roberts, author of
Here is Where I Walk. FREE, $5-10 suggested donationRegistration is required for Zoom access. Spots are limited.
