Competition Time!
Win a copy of Laurent Tillon’s Being an Oak : Life as Tree
We have three copies Laurent Tillon’s book, Being an Oak: Life as a Tree, to give away to three lucky people!
In this dazzling book, biodiversity expert Tillon narrates the story of the tree he calls Quercus. From germination in 1780 to adapting to the changing climate of the modern age, Quercus’ struggles and triumphs took place far from human eyes. That is, until one day a young man named Laurent Tillon came across it, and a decades-long relationship began. Evoking the richness which is all around us, he reveals that Quercus is embedded in a network of ever-shifting relationships, from close alliances between plants and animals to battles between insects, birds and fungi. A book of ecology unlike any other, Being An Oak offers a tree-eyed view of life on earth.
Competition open to UK residents only.

Competition closes at midnight on Sunday 7 December.
