Book description
Why read it?
1 author picked Ancient Woodland as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Rackham led me into the woods in England as they were 500 to 1000 years ago—part of village life, being cut for firewood or cartwheels, and perhaps occasionally to supply beams for the local church, manor house, or even a cathedral.
I look at the flowers growing, the shapes of trees, and the patterns of the forest floor differently now—a legacy of human activity as well as nature. Their conservation takes on a different dimension.
From Keith's list on woodland history and woodland conservation.
