Wollemi

Deep in the Blue Mountains, an extraordinary ancient tree waits to be found.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description
Deep in the forest, an ancient wonder is about to be found. Descended from a family of trees going back 200 million years, the Wollemi pine has survived ice, fire and the passing of many generations. Will a bushfire be the final threat to this living fossil? And how will we protect it, now that everyone wants a dinosaur tree? How can we make sure the Wollemi’s secret location is not discovered and damaged? Wollemi: Saving a Dinosaur Tree explains the unique and critically endangered status of the Wollemi pine and explores what actions can be taken today to contribute to the conservation of this rare and beautiful tree. Reading level varies from child to child, but we recommend this book for ages 6 to 9. Shortlisted, The Wilderness Society Environment Award for Children's Literature 2024: Picture Fiction Notable Book, The CBCA Eve Pownall Award for Information Books 2024 Praise for Wollemi: "This great book should help to promote the value and importance of the Wollemi Pines." David Noble, the park ranger who found the Wollemi pine
