Description
Book SynopsisA comprehensive survey of eleven different woods, this book is a vivid account of the flora and fauna that comprise the various habitats of our large and small woods. More than a survey though, this book looks beyond the individual stories of the trees, plants, animals and insects and constitutes a readable account of the inter-dependence of species so vital for the preservation of biodiversity. In her lively and candid style, this timely publication taps immediately into one of the major challenges faced by the environment today.
Stunning photography and absorbing text combine with authoritative surveys to make this book both informative and enchanting. Invaluable reference and a visual treat.

Gardeners who enjoy walks in the woods will love Charlotte de la Bedoyere's account of the flora and fauna that make up their natural biodiversity. Portrait of a Woodland looks at a mix of animals, insects, trees and other plants. It also contains some amazing photography of all four in their natural settings.
