Trees are (normally) going to be an important part of the final specification when it launches - with a look at deciduous woodland management, local woodland being used for field visits to investigate plant succession, fungi forays etc, and also some tree-planting going on hopefully.
It would be nice to think that some environmental organisation or other company might offer free trees to any centre that offers the new specification.
There are certainly some interesting stories and books which delve into the connections we have with trees and ancient woodlands and our subconscious: our folk memories of life amongst the trees in the past.
This avenue is about half a mile from my home and in spring is lined with snowdrops.
What tree-related books do you think are of value to add to our reading list?
Here's a few that we thought of:
'British Woodland' - Ray Mears
'How to read a tree' - Tristan Gooley
'Woodlands' - Oliver Rackham
