Description

This book, dedicated to the memory of the great woodland historian Oliver Rackham, brings together recent research on woodlands in various parts of Yorkshire. Topics include woodland archaeology, detailed studies of lime trees in Swaledale and Teesdale, signs of former wood pasture on the Pennines, the Yorkshire Arboretum near Castle Howard, and climate change and future forestry plantings. The papers were delivered at a conference held in Ilkley.
