Fred Hageneder is a harpist, graphic designer, and artist whose passion for trees started in his teens. He has composed music for The Celtic Tree Circle, and painted tree portraits, many of which appear in The Spirit of Trees (Floris Books, 2000).

Born in Hamburg, he now lives in the Cotswolds, England. He is a founding member and chairman of The Friends of the Trees, a charity to re-establish sacred groves on the British Isles and to protect ancient trees, particularly yews.
