Trees and Woodland in the British Landscape
The Complete History of Britain's Trees, Woods and Hedgerows
Oliver Rackham New Paperback Illustrated
Postscript summary
Focusing on native woodland, hedgerows, and the trees found in ‘parks, meadows, commons, farmyards, and places like Epping Forest’, Rackham’s 1976 classic has long been accepted as the most comprehensive study of the subject. It describes the changing character and role of trees from prehistory to the Middle Ages, explains how to approach field-work, and this second edition concludes with notes on the conservation and future of ancient woodland.
