Media reviews

"Written in accessible language, it demystifies management and provides owners with the confidence to make the most of their woodlands whatever their objectives. We'll certainly be recommending it as essential reading."
– Phil Tidey, Small Woods Association

"This charming book conveys very tellingly the enthusiasm, love and fun involved in woodland ownership. It is written in a manner that is virtually completely non-technical and should be intelligible to everyone interested in woods."
– Peter Savill, author of The Silviculture of Trees Used in British Forestry

"The enthusiasm of the authors for their subject comes through, alongside the pleasure that they have got from their woods, and their desire that others may get similar enjoyment. That surely must be part of what the Independent Panel for Forestry in England meant when it stressed the need to see a new woodland culture in which woodlands and wood as a material and fuel are highly valued and sought after."
– Keith Kirby Department of Plant Sciences, Oxford
