Trees and forests are crucial to life on our planet: they generate oxygen, play host to a spectacular variety of wildlife and provide us with raw materials and shelter. They offer us tranquillity, inspire us and refresh our souls. "Exploring Woodland" is a series of guides from The Woodland Trust that describe and illustrate beautiful woodland sites in different regions throughout the UK. Fully illustrated with site maps and photographs, these are the essential woodland guides for all tree lovers. Both privately owned and public woods are included in the guides. There is a map of each site and clear information on how to find it, the type of woodland, the facilities available and what to look out for on your visit, including the wildlife that you may find there. All sites have been visited by independent researchers to make sure that the information in each book is up-to-date. Wales covers the many ancient and notable woodlands of the entire country of Wales from the Wye Valley to the sea; from the valleys of South Wales to Snowdonia in the North.
The Woodland Trust is the UK's leading woodland conservation charity, with over 120,000 members. It owns and cares for over 1,100 woods throughout the UK.
This beautifully-illustrated book is an ideal size for slipping into a bag. The layout is well planned with comprehensive and easy to read maps and concise directions including a key to facilities. Tree Guardian
