Trees and woodland in the British Landscape by Oliver Rackham

The cover is of Loch Beninn, which belies the East of England predominance I’ve gratefully encountered in the book. Gifted to me by Jon Illes for my 60th birthday, in time for his recommendation for our book club (woods the theme), it is book club which drives the read, as like Jennie says, it’s like homework, got to be done, What a pleasure it is, and particularly as now, I can relate to a few reference points like Haley wood, that old coppice.
