I can recommend

 

Wild Wood and Waterlog by Roger Deakin.

 

Red Deer by Richard Jeffries.

 

Nature Cure and Beechcombings by Richard Mabey.

 

What else is good?

The Man Who planted trees by Jean Giono

 

Secret life of trees by Colin Tudge

 

Out of the woods Will Cohu

 

The living landscape by Fraser harrison

I really enjoyed "The Golden Spruce" by John Valliant

 

Not strictly a nature book, but facinating insight into logging and the wilderness of British Columbia

[Saw-sick Steve]

''Meetings with Remarkable Trees'' by Thomas Packenham

''Crow Country'' by Mark Cocker

''A Last Wild Place'' by Mike Tomkies

and a wonderfully inventive ''Aesops' Fables'' type book called ''Pork'' by Chris Freddi
