Acknowledgements

Thanks and Credits go first of all to my eldest son William, who gave me the computer on which this website was made and connected me to the Internet!
He also installed our The-Tree Community Message Boards and helped me to solve many mysteries. Thanks Will!

Thank you very much to my dear friend Shirley, who provided not only the majority of photographs for this website when it went online in October 2002, but also provided endless cups of tea, meals and encouragement.

I am indebted to countless human beings who have written passionately and informatively about trees and who made the illustrations and photos from which I've been learning. Their names are not all in the bibliography, because I used to make notes for my own reference in a notebook, little suspecting I would ever put a website together. Below are the books, which I have most frequently referred to during the making of this website (Oct. 2002/Jan.2004)
