A Wood of Our Own

By Julian Evans

Book Overview

In 1985 Julian Evans fulfilled every forester's ambition--he purchased his own patch of woodland to develop, manage, and enjoy as he saw fit. Combining anecdote, natural history, and professional wisdom, this gripping account details Evans' purchase and management of a neglected woodland in
Hampshire, England. It also traces the people and events associated with it, among them encounters with gamekeepers and roe deer, the drama of two great gales, and the selling of timber. Fine cameo line drawings by artist and forester John White accompany the text. Wildlife enthusiasts, land
owners, conservationists, and other outdoors people will find Evans' story insightful and entertaining.
