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.
A beautifully written classic of nature writing.
'A masterly account...of supreme interest...a classic' Country Life
Long accepted as the best work on the subject, Oliver Rackham's book is both a comprehensive history of Britain's woodland and a field-work guide that presents trees individually and as part of the landscape.
From prehistoric times, through the Roman period and into the Middle Ages, Oliver Rackham describes the changing character, role and history of trees and woodland. He concludes this definitive study with a section on the conservation and future of Britain's trees, woodlands and hedgerows.
