Exploring the rich diversity of London through a series of urban
forest trails, this new, expanded edition of London is a Forest
uncovers the fascinating stories and secrets the city holds.
Through seven carefully devised paths, author Paul Wood explores
the urban forest's geography, its past and future, and looks at the
remarkable variety of life supported in this unique metropolitan
ecosystem. For curious Londoners and anyone who's fascinated by
nature, a wealth of arboreal details, history, myth and anecdotes
are revealed along the way. Complementing the trails, Wood looks in
more detail at the fascinating stories of some of the iconic, and
some of the less obvious species that define the urban forest. In
London, 9 million people are crammed into just 600 square miles
alongside 8.5 million trees. According to one UN definition, this
makes the city a forest. The Forestry Commission agree, describing
London as the world's largest urban forest. And a particularly
diverse and historic urban forest at that.
