Had the pleasure of sharing a few ales with him over a weeks residential course at Flatford Mill about 15 years ago.

 

His depth of knowledge across medieval history, ecology, woodland management and the countryside at large was astounding.

 

I'm glad I tried to see him speak several times, he opened the door to ancient trees and woodland for so many people.

 

No doubt many have read his books, but I would urge all that haven't to treat themselves.

 

 

I for one, will go plant a british tree in a woodland in his memory.

Nice thought that David, I wonder if Westonbirt would be interested in a designated space for such sentiment . Mind you, the paperwork associated with that may make it a cumbersome process.
