A century ago woodlands were at the heart of daily life. Trees & hedgerows, copses & spinneys provided wood-fuel, thatch & bedding, woodland pasture for pigs & cattle, medicine from tree bark & a wild harvest of nuts & fruit for the home. But the role of woodlands has been in decline in the last two centuries, drifting ever further from our modern lives. Yet there is no other landscape in the British Isles that matches the complexity & variety of life in a woodl&, above & below ground. And while sheltering wildlife, woods continue to enrich our language, feed our imagination & still have the power to transform us, literally & metaphorically. Woodlands have not only inspired folktales, music, novels, visual art & poetry, they are also finding new uses in healthcare & as outdoor classrooms. Arboreal is a landmark publication of new writing from woodlands across the UK & beyond. In memory of the great historical ecologist Oliver Rackham, the book gathers contributions from a variety of voices
- novelists, teachers, poets, botanists, artists, architects & foresters
- to explore why woods matter & mean so much.
