A Wood of Our Own

In 1985 the author fulfilled for himself what is every forester's ambition - the purchase of his own patch of woodland to develop, manage, and enjoy exactly as he thought fit. Combining anecdote, natural history, and professional wisdom in a readable account, this is the story of the woodland. A factual account of the purchase and management of the wood runs alongside a description of the people, events, and incidents associated with it. Fine cameo line drawings by John White, artist and forester, illustrate the account.
