Welcome to Trees A Crowd

Hello, I’m David Oakes: actor, ecologist and Vice President of The Wildlife Trusts. For nearly eight years I’ve travelled the world putting questions to my fellow nature-obsessed bipeds, from scientists and activists to naturalists and artists, in recording studios and deep in the jungle. The answers have been funny, heartbreaking and mind-expanding: A hand that lost an argument with a vulture. A whale that wanted its tummy scratched. A colony of honeybees living inside a cello. A bird so numerous it darkened the sky, hunted down to a single captive survivor. And, always, the hope that keeps people fighting for the natural world. Trees A Crowd: conversations with deep roots.
