Description
The Ash and the Beech: The Drama of Woodland Change by Richard Mabey Our woodlands are facing unprecedented challenges, from ash die-back to the Great Storm of 1987. Yet, as we struggle to protect these vital ecosystems, we must also reconsider our relationship with trees. For over a thousand years, we have seen trees as something more than just living things - as pets, status symbols, and expressions of beauty. But what if we were to see them in a different light? In this thought-provoking book, Richard Mabey argues that respecting trees' independence and ancient powers of survival may be the wisest response to their current crises. With his characteristic poetic style, Mabey explores how our humanisation of trees has led us down a path of destruction. This revised edition includes a new foreword and afterword by the author. By re-examining our relationship with trees, we can work towards a more sustainable future for our woodlands and the wildlife that depends on them.
