About

Trees, Climate and People is part of a set of projects related to the impact of climate change and human influence on trees and forests. Check back often for updates, including information coming soon about my book, Trees, Climate and People, now in preparation. This site is the return of two long-time blogs and web sites, Tree Trends and TreeGuide. TreeGuide began in 1995 and included one of the earliest science blogs. Work and life took me away from blogging for a while, but now we are back. The old blogs are in formats difficult to transfer to this site, so the archives will not be available for a while. We will post some of the best archival materials from time to time.
