Naming the Trees

Description

Llyfr sy’n archwilio’r berthynas rhwng dyn a choed a sut y gwnaeth coed siapio llên gwerin a llenyddiaeth. Ysgogwyd y gyfrol gan ymgyrch i achub coedwig hynafol Penrhos, ardal o ddiddordeb gwyddonol arbennig ar Ynys Môn, rhag cael ei throi yn wersyll gwyliau. Archwilir llên gwerin coed ynghyd â chariad yr awdures at goed a’i hymwneud â nhw ac â bywyd gwyllt ei chynefin.
A deep-dive into the human relationship with trees and how trees have shaped folklore and literature.
Sparked by a campaign to save the ancient forest of Penrhos, an SSSI on Ynys Môn, from being turned into a holiday camp, Ness explores Welsh folklore of trees and her own love for and engagement with the trees and other wild aspects of her home.
