The result was a total transformation of the landscape -- from one devoid of life  with miserable  contentious inhabitants  to one filled with the scent of flowers  the songs of birds  and fresh  flowing water. Chelsea Green is proud to once again collaborate with American Forests to present the Jean Giono Award to an individual who embodies the tree-planting spirit of Elzeard Bouffier. Past winners include Paul Rokich  who secretly planted trees under cover of night on the denuded hills of Utahs Oquirrh Mountains  land that had suffered from overgrazing  excessive logging  fires  and copper-mining activities. We have joined the Paul Winter Consort in the release of a CD version of the acclaimed audio of this story. The original music was composed and is performed by the Paul Winter Consort  and the text is narrated by Robert J. Lurtsema  host of \"Morning Pro Musica\" on public radio station WGBH in Boston. We are also offering packages of 12 beautiful note cards featuring six of Michael McCurdys wood engravings from the book  with a message from the text on the back of each card.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45279823986741,"sku":"ByrdShop_0930031024","price":34.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780930031022.jpg?v=1780612250","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-man-who-planted-trees-9780930031022","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
