We’ll also connect with each other to share a memory of a tree that has meaning for us. Publishers Weekly named Mike Tidwell’s climate change memoir on its list of top 25 nonfiction books of 2025. In Maryland Matters Josh Kurtz writes, “Mike Tidwell is one of the most aggressive lobbyists in Annapolis, a fierce advocate for climate action who doesn’t suffer fools gladly. Lobbying a state government that routinely resists bold action, where progress is incremental at best, Tidwell has been known to aggravate legislative leaders, administration officials and their top aides with a pull-no-punches style highlighting the urgency of the climate crisis. “The Lost Trees of Willow Avenue” is, in one sense, what it purports to be: A look at how severe weather and climate change have decimated the tree canopy on a single street in Takoma Park, where Tidwell lives. But it’s also a broader meditation on multiple global environmental crises and the people who are heroically trying to do something about them, even at a very micro level.”
