A special Magnificent Missouri edition of The Man Who Planted Trees – a conservation classic – is now available! Get yours today!

Dan Burkhardt has been working with the publisher of this beautiful French short story, originally published in the 1950s, to create this special edition.

A fable about a man who found happiness by planting one acorn at a time, the original story by Jean Giono tells a tale of transformation that highlights the importance of conservation. In the new special edition, the original text of the book and the beautiful woodcut illustrations are accompanied by a foreword and afterword written by Dan Burkhardt about Magnificent Missouri, the Missouri River valley, and the land along the Katy Trail.

Price: $10 plus $5 for shipping and handling

100% of the proceeds go to support our mission of conserving and increasing appreciation of the Katy Trail and the last 100 miles of the Missouri River Valley — as a premier regional asset — through education, events, and collaborative projects.
