This is a practical manual to managing woodland. It includes a
Foreword written by HRH Prince Charles. It comes from conservation
expert Charles Flower, author of highly acclaimed Where Have all
the Flowers Gone? Charles Flower is passionate about restoring the
countryside. He has spent many years working on and writing about
the restoration of wild flowers to grasslands and has now turned
his attention to ancient woodlands, many of which, though derelict,
are treasure houses of diversity, an asset unrecognised by almost
everyone including those in Government. Yet with a little effort
glades and rides, which may represent less than ten per cent of the
wood, can be opened up with remarkable results. Once light
penetrates some wild flowers will reappear and all will thrive
attracting back the insects, birds and animals that once flourished
there. This book is not only a beautiful record of the ancient
woodlands that, thanks to good management, have continued to
thrive, it also constitutes a practical manual and provides
inspiration for those working to preserve our existing ancient
woodlands and those managing recently planted woods and planting
the trees that will constitute our future woodland heritage.
