From Little Acorns... Unearthing the Roots of Britain's Woodland Conservation Movement

Mascot Media, 2022. 1st Edition . Soft cover. In 2002 nature writer Peter Marren described the Woodland Trust as one of conservation's "surprise successes". Now in its 50th year, the charity continues to champion broadleaved trees and tackle pressing ecological challenges. From Little Acorns. looks back at its formative years through the eyes of the Trust's first Chief Executive, John James OBE. He identifies some of the reasons for the organisation's success: throughout the period there was a sense of urgency for the cause of woodland protection in the face of serious threats. From the outset the Trust has taken an entrepreneurial and opportunistic approach that has positioned itself for the 'next big thing', from Plant a Tree in '73 through the Millennium Forest to The Big Climate Fightback. The book is colourfully illustrated with high-quality images from the Trust's picture library. 170x245mm. 160pp . New/No Jacket.
