Forgotten Forests (hardback)

Twelve thousand years of British and Irish woodlands
Availability: In stock
SKU: FFOREST
£18.99

Ancient trees, some over a thousand years old, are dotted around Britain and Ireland, the last survivors of a lost world. Today, scientific studies of these trees, of fossilised forests and of our oldest wooden artifacts, are helping us to build a picture of the woodlands that have disappeared from our landscapes. From Mesolithic hunter-gatherers to Neolithic farmers, and on into recorded history, this is an account of the connected transformation of nature and society. 

 

Every purchase supports our work to protect, restore and create healthy, thriving woodland habitats for people and wildlife.
