They live in our collective imagination as quiet places, best left pristine and untouched. But their story has always been one of interdependence with people. Now, as ever, these woods—including remnants of the primeval 'wildwood'—need the thoughtful intervention of humans to survive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith the benefit of over twenty years' experience rehabilitating ancient woodland—from the Lakes to the Peak District, by way of suburban London's hidden gems—Luke Barley brings us deep into this hidden world to reveal majestic oaks, freshly coppiced hazels, endangered limes, and the passionate individuals tending them for future generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs modern woodlanders judiciously cut and fell, the flood of fresh light brings new life and hope to these irreplaceable natural jewels. With clear-sighted passion and lyrical prose, Barley reveals what we stand to gain, as individuals and as a society, by rekindling our ancient connection with these special places.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47494967525612,"sku":"9781805222231","price":59.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781805222231-ancient.jpg?v=1775793526","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/ancient-by-luke-barley-9781805222231","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
