Hidden in unseen valleys of dense rainforest on the coast of California are the world's tallest and largest things - trees up to forty storeys tall and as old as the Parthenon, the coastal redwoods. Mysterious and unexplored, few people know how to find, and fewer still have climbed them to study their upper reaches and discover the wonders there. 'The Wild Trees' is the astonishing story of the handful of wild tree climbers and amateur naturalists who are now working in the redwood canopy, climbing and exploring this enchanted and terrifically dangerous new world. The canopy is a mysterious place filled with hanging gardens of ferns, mosses and lichens, a massive system of aerial trunks that have fused to form walkways, where redwoods begin to grow on other redwoods, 300 feet in the air.
'The Wild Trees' is a story of high adventure of the small band of friends, colleagues and lovers who are exploring the secrets hidden in the lost world of the tallest trees on earth.
