A
Permaculture Approach To Woodland Management
A new book, by Ben Law
This is a
book for everyone who loves trees and woodlands... Written from the
heart by an innovative woodsman who is deeply committed to sustainability,
this radical book presents an immensely practical alternative permacultural
approach to woodland management. As such, it is a significant landmark
which proves that small scale temperate systems can be economically
viable, as well as being able to enhance
biodiversity and provide food. Through his personal experience, Ben
Law clearly demonstrates how you can create biodiverse, healthy environments,
yield a great variety of value added products, provide secure livelihoods
for woodland workers and farmers, and benefit the local community.
He argues the case for a new approach to planning, encouraging the
creation of permaculture woodlands for the benefit of people, the
local environment and the global climate.
Ben's
brilliant book points the way forward for woodland management
in the British Isles and beyond. It covers every aspect of what is
in reality
woodland stewardship, from both a practical and philosophical standpoint.
This book is set to be a classic and will surely mark a turning point
in our relationship with woods and the natural environment.
