The Walking Trees

In Chloe Scott's extraordinary post-war memoir, a beautiful young refugee from war-torn England and her American naturalist husband--both barely past their teens--accept an assignment from the Audubon Society to spend a year on a rickety boat guarding hundreds of thousands of birds in the Everglades. The Walking Trees is a true-life tale of romance and adventure set amidst the unspoiled splendor--and dangers--of life in backwoods Florida, protecting wildlife that some sketchy characters do not want protected during a period of American wilderness protection nearly a quarter-century before Earth Day.
