- Abstract
Lyndsie Bourgon's book, "Tree Thieves: Crime and Survival in North America's Woods," provides an insightful examination of the world of environmental crime and tree poaching. The book explores the complex relationship between individuals, society, and nature, depicting the main characters as neither heroes nor villains. Bourgon focuses on tree poaching in the Pacific Northwest and discusses the impacts of economics, land use policy, and the sociology of rural communities. The book also delves into the science of determining the origin of illegally harvested wood products using DNA analysis. Overall, "Tree Thieves" offers a character-driven study of poaching and its implications for land use policy, human-nature relationships, and power dynamics.
