Description
Discover the hidden world of ancient woodland indicator plants, featuring over 40 flowering plants and ferns. Beautiful colour illustrations bring each plant to life, making it easy to identify and understand their significance.
Grouped by woodland type, from lowland base-rich woods to upland acid woods and woods on boggy soils, this guide provides a comprehensive introduction to the unique features of ancient woodlands. With a table for each county, you can use this guide to explore the rich ecosystems of the UK's ancient woodlands.
These plants are not just indicators of the woodland's age, but also provide a glimpse into the history of the site, with features such as medieval boundary banks and old coppice stools hinting at human activity in centuries past. This identification guide is the perfect starting point for anyone looking to explore and understand the beauty and significance of ancient woodlands.
