Preface

Trees ave always been a passion for me. heir beauty, caracter, and importance to umankind are wort igest consideration and admiration from all of us. Wit inspi-ration from reading many istorical accounts of Indiana’s great natural eritage, an idea for tis broad-based book was created wit its empasis on potograpy, educa-tion, istory, use, and protection. It is not intended to be a ﬁeld guide or duplicate oter tree books, rater a fres approac of looking at Indiana troug te lens of its great trees—Past to Present. his one tree book, peraps your ﬁrst, just may cover exactly te range to begin your understanding of wat Indiana’s trees ave meant in te past and wat tey still do for us today.
