Summary:
"As a graduate student exploring the rain forests of Australia, Meg Lowman realized that she couldn’t monitor her beloved leaves using any of the usual methods. So she put together a climbing kit: she sewed a harness from an old seat belt, gathered hundreds of feet of rope, and found a tool belt for her pencils and rulers. Up she went, into the
trees
. Forty years later, Lowman remains one of the world’s foremost arbornauts, known as the 'real-life Lorax.' She planned one of the first treetop walkways and helps create more of these bridges through the
eighth
continent
all over the world. With a voice as infectious in its enthusiasm as it is practical in its optimism, the book chronicles Lowman’s irresistible story."--From publisher.
