Gabriel Hemery's books

I express my passion for trees, forestry, and the environment through writing. My first book The New Sylva, is an award-winning book about trees and forestry published with Bloomsbury in 2014. Currently, I am working on a series of three guidebooks featuring more than 1000 forest sites across Britain in The Forest Guide series (publishing with Bloomsbury Wildlife). I’ve written two novels, released two short story collections, and a poetry anthology. My short stories have been included in two anthologies. Read more about my books

I also take photographs for use in my own book projects, such as The Forest Guide series. A selection of tree photographs are available to view on my dedicated tree photography webpages.
