Your Green Breakfast
Friday, 17 October 2025 - 35 minutes
Southampton tree climber Henrik G Dahle was a guest on Your Green Breakfast with Xan Phillips to discuss his new book, 'Art of Climbing Trees'.
The book, set to release on October 17th,2025, and is a blend of travelogue and research project centred around Dahle's endeavour of climbing a tree every day for a year across 10 countries.
He was joined by over 80 co-climbers in this adventure.
Dahle shares how his passion for tree climbing began at a pirate-themed party and led to a significant personal and environmental exploration.
The book discusses sustainability, the importance of trees in urban environments, and offers a manifesto for a greener world.
Highlights include climbing the Trafalgar Square Christmas tree (before it was cut down) and a weeping beech in Southampton.
The conversation also touches on the importance of reducing resource use and re-evaluating societal growth.
Aimed at inspiring reflection on our connection to nature, Dahle encourages public contributions to his 'Green Print' manifesto.
