British Woodland is an interesting and informative story of our involvement with trees.

Nobody sees and understands woodland better than Ray Mears.

With deep natural history knowledge and practical woodcraft skills, gained over a lifetime of learning from the world's last remaining indigenous peoples, Ray offers a different way to experience our wooded landscapes. He challenges the old concepts. He looks to our ancestors and shows how man's hand in shaping woodland is critical. We are not separate from nature, we just need to ensure that our interactions have a positive impact.

With the emphasis on interaction, British Woodland is structured by usage. We learn that sycamore and clematis are among the best woods for burning, pine and oak help us navigate, and hawthorn and beech have edible leaves. Rope can be made from willow, utensils and tools from hazel, and historically, weapons were made from yew and wych elm.

With Ray as our guide, encouraging this aboriginal sense of connection to individual trees, our appreciation of wooded landscapes will change. We can learn how to live inclusively in nature, for our own wellbeing and enjoyment, and also for the future of our planet.

I must admit I really enjoyed the way these books are written. Full of factual information and instruction. Ray takes you on a journey of knowledge and understanding. I was gifted a copy of Ray’s Wilderness Chief, this is also an outstanding read, I am slowly working my way through it. Recommend

I have a good few books about outdoor activities. I like this one because it's about the different trees that grow in England and Ireland. Ray goes into detail about what you can use the trees around us for like our ancestors did 1000's of years ago. I find it a good read worth having in your library, remember if the world goes down the swanney you can still read books unlike a kindle.
