Practical and inspiring Review by Review by Julienne Dolphin Wil on www.off-grid.net

Review

The Woodland Way is one of those rare books that bridges the gap between the theory of conservation and its practice, and does it well. It sets out author Ben Law’s thesis and original vision for sustainable woodland management in Britain. It is an inspiring book in its practicality and “do-ability”

The Woodland Way contains a vast body of insight and practical advice, all of it deeply rooted within a permaculture philosophy. Review by Rob Hopkins, Permaculture magazine

Review

The Woodland Way contains a vast body of insight and practical advice, all of it deeply rooted within a permaculture philosophy. The real power of this book, as of all great permaculture texts, is twofold. Firstly, you reach the last page and feel equipped to have a go at it yourself, and secondly you realise how different the world would be if more people were doing this stuff. Ben is a man who has a deep reverence for Nature and for trees and this shines through his writing. For anyone who still thinks that making a living from the woods means flogging the occasional greenwood chair and a few hazelnuts, Ben shows that well designed woodland enterprises can be serious business and that the surface has only just been scratched in terms of potential. The book's concluding chapter, 'The Future', sets out such a clear and common sense vision for the future that it deserves to be published in its own right as a small booklet. Ben and everyone involved in producing this precious addition to the permaculture library deserve our thanks for offering another steady step towards diversity, abundance and a world fit for our children to inherit.

This book is set to be a classic Review by Jean-Paul Jeanrenaud, WWF International

Review

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. (Posted on 01/07/2010)
