Dr Gabriel Hemery is a silvologist (forest scientist), author, and tree photographer. His first book, The New Sylva, was published by Bloomsbury to wide acclaim in 2014. Turning to fiction in 2016, his short story Don’t Look Back was published in the anthology Arboreal (Little Toller Books). In 2019, his first full-length novel Green Gold (Unbound) was published with an accompanying exhibition at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. In 2020 he published a collection of environmental tales in Tall Trees Short Stories Vol.20.
Gabriel co-founded the Sylva Foundation in 2009 and has since led the environmental charity as its Chief Executive. He is also a founding trustee of Fund4Trees, an arboreal charity working with urban trees and children. Gabriel has written more than 90 technical articles, cited in 900 papers by other scientists. He has planted more than 100, 000 trees in his career. During 2010-11 he campaigned with six other leading environmentalists, successfully saving England’s public forests from government disposal. In 2017, he helped create and launch the UK Tree Charter. He has served on many advisory boards, including for the Woodland Trust and Forestry Commission.
Gabriel writes a top-ranking tree blog which features news about his books and photography, and he appears regularly in the media talking or writing about trees.
