• 10. Gabrielle Cerberville Loves Foraging. Chaotically, that is.

  Gabrielle Cerberville, who you may know as @chaoticforager on social media, is a wild person. In addition to her intense and borderline disturbing level of knowledge and excitement when it comes to mushrooms and foraging, she is a musician and an artist and so many other things that Tobin doesn't have time to type here.Gabrielle and Tobin talk about why mushrooms look like wieners (the answer may surprise you!), what it's like to be a synaesthete (Gabrielle actually is one, but ladies: if a man tells you he is a synaesthete on a first date, PROCEED WITH CAUTION), and, of course, the "bro-ification of mushrooms".Follow Tobin @jewslovetrees on Instagram and Tiktok.Get Must Love Trees: An Unconventional Guide.Questions?

• 8. David Allen Sibley wrote the book on Trees. And Birds.

  Casey Clapp from Completely Arbortrary joins Tobin to chat with the man, the myth, the Sibley. David Allen, that is! David is a world-renowned ornithologist and author of The Sibley Guide to Birds and many other birding books, but also the author of Casey and Tobin's favorite tree guide, the inimitable Sibley Guide to Trees. Tobin, Casey, and David cover the reasons for foliage intensity, inspirational figures from childhood, possible events for the Naturalist Olympics, and, of course, what to do if you have a toddler who loves to destroy every piece of green they see.Follow Tobin @jewslovetrees on Instagram and Tiktok.Get Must Love Trees: An Unconventional Guide.Questions?
