Review:

Julian Evans has written a charming and readable book which will be enjoyed by foresters (perhaps tinged with envy) and laymen alike. * Commonwealth Forestry Review * Already an author of several forestry books, he here combines anecdote, natural history and professional wisdom in a gripping story. * HeartWOOD * ...attractively produced, and written with infectious enthusiasm... * Independent, Duff Hart-Davis * The technical science is distilled into simple language, enabling the amateur reader to benefit from the author's extensive knowledge. * TREE NEWS * This small book, written in an appealingly modest tone...is full of practical and scientific detail explained in straightforward terms. * TREE NEWS *
