Description
Matthew Yeomans' journey through Wales' ancient and modern forests is a fascinating exploration of the human relationship with nature. As he walks over 300 miles, he reflects on the past, present, and future of the country's woodlands, weaving together history, folklore, and industrial progress. Along the way, he encounters landmarks and stories that have shaped Wales' legends and considers the challenges facing the world's woodlands today. Yeastman's journey is not just a personal adventure, but also a thoughtful examination of the ways in which we can make peace with the natural world. He explores practical solutions, such as tree-planting and embedding the value of nature into our economic systems. This book offers a unique perspective on the importance of our connection with the natural world and the steps we can take to protect it. Through his journey, Yeomans reveals the beauty and significance of Wales' woodlands, and the lessons they can teach us about living in harmony with the environment.
