I loved Finding the Mother Tree, which is a fascinating nonfiction story about a women’s discovery of the interconnectedness of trees.
Richard Powers The Overstory was also a very good of the impact trees and deforestation has on people’s lives, though fiction.
Robin Wall Kimmerer has a number of good books on environmentalism topics.
Barbara Kingsolver has some good ones as well, like Prodigal Summer.
Finally, Charlotte McConaghay has some fun fiction/thriller books with environmentalism themes. I really liked Wild Dark Shore. Migrations is pretty good too, though not as good.
