Derek Niemann has had a lifelong interest in natural history and history. He will talk about his new book on British trees.
When the Government proposed selling off public forests, more than half a million people signed a petition in a matter of weeks to declare their opposition. We go dewy-eyed at the thought of bluebells. We adore our mighty oaks, wild cherries and limes. There is mystique and reverence for woods that have existed since Domesday and before.So how was it possible that, only a generation ago, we managed to destroy half of our ancient woodland?
At the heart of A Tale of Trees – a book that ranges widely over ancient woodland throughout Britain, is the story of Derek’s local wood, one that was all but cut down. One third of Waresley Wood in Cambridgeshire survives, rescued by determined individuals in the Wildlife Trust. Derek’s explorations through Waresley over the course of a year draw out just what makes an ancient wood special.
