Join us for a wonderful evening in celebration of the release of ‘Oaklore: Adventures in a World of Extraordinary Trees’. Jules Acton is a fresh new voice in nature writing. Like Peter Wohlleben, she personifies nature making complex scientific theories accessible with a peculiarly British twist. ‘Oaklore’ started out as a ‘nature and cultural ramble’ and her conversational tone in the book makes you feel as though you are there with her.
Jules lives and breathes trees. She works for the Woodland Trust and her love of the oak is central to ‘Oaklore’ but she takes a holistic approach. Oaks in the UK support 2300 other plants, animals and fungi and the book encompasses the birds, spiders, beetles and butterflies to be found on them. Jules, whose surname means ‘oak place’, can trace her love of nature back to childhood. A former journalist, she has worked for the Woodland Trust, the Wildlife Trusts and WaterAid. She lives near Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire, with her husband, Toby, and rescue dog, Pepe. This is her first book.
