Özet
 Ancient woods are Britain's richest habitats: rare fragments of our landscape that teem with life from soil to canopy. They live in our collective imagination as quiet places, best left pristine and untouched. But their story has always been one of interdependence with people. Now, as ever, these woods - including remnants of the primeval 'wildwood' - need the thoughtful intervention of humans to survive.

With the benefit of over twenty years' experience rehabilitating ancient woodland - from the Lakes to the Peak District, by way of suburban London's hidden gems - Luke Barley brings us deep into this hidden world to reveal majestic oaks, freshly coppiced hazels, endangered limes, and the passionate individuals tending them for future generations. As modern woodlanders judiciously cut and fell, the flood of fresh light brings new life and hope to these irreplaceable natural jewels.

With clear-sighted passion and lyrical prose, Barley reveals what we stand to gain, as individuals and as a society, by rekindling our ancient connection with these special places.©2026 Luke Barley (P)2023 Simon & Schuster Agricultural & Food Sciences Biological Sciences Botany & Plants Europe Great Britain Outdoors & Nature Science Sustainable & Green Living

This is such a fantastic book. The writer perfectly combines his extensive experience working in woods with historical evidence from academics such as Rackham to highlight the incredible importance of our native woodlands. If you aren’t already working in woodlands before listening to this book, you will desperately want to by the end. Brilliant.

Fascinating listen

Excellent. The narrator was great, such a characterful voice. A call for action, to value, manage and restore our woods. A potted history, a how-to guide and more. Thoroughly enjoyed.

ABSOLUTELY RUBBISH

Could have been fascinating as he’s very knowledgeable. But he doesn’t take account of the audience as do other nature writers e.g Steve Moss and it’s fact packed with often dull details e.g on bill hooks. Stories are needed and a ruthless editor.On Trees I’d rather read Thomas Packenham.

Repetitive detail
