Ben Law is an experienced and innovative woodsman with a deep commitment to practical sustainability. Here he presents a radical alternative to conventional woodland management that creates biodiverse, healthy environments, yields a great variety of value-added products, provides a secure livelihood for woodland workers and farmers, and benefits the local community. The author views the separation of agriculture from silviculture as unnecessarily limiting and argues for a new approach to planning that will encourage the creation of sustainably managed woodlands for the benefit of people, the local environment, and the global climate. Although specific to Britain, the principles of The Woodland Way will be understood by foresters worldwide. This brilliant book covers every aspect of woodland stewardship from both a practical and philosophical standpoint. Ben Law writes from the heart after long years of struggle with a whole host of naysayers who tried to convince him by fair means and foul to give up his vision for a renaissance in the countryside.

Spine, cover & corners somewhat worn. ; David Holmgren is an Australian ecologist, author, and one of the co-originators of the permaculture movement, a holistic approach to sustainable living that emphasizes working with natural systems. Born in 1955, Holmgren became interested in environmental sustainability and ecological design at a young age. In the 1970s, he collaborated with Bill Mollison to develop permaculture, a concept focused on designing agricultural and living systems that mimic the resilience and efficiency of natural ecosystems. Their groundbreaking work laid the foundation for permaculture as a global movement aimed at creating sustainable, self-sufficient communities. Holmgren's influential books, including Permaculture One (1978) and Permaculture: Principles and Pathways Beyond Sustainability (2002) , have been widely read and are considered key texts in the permaculture field. His work emphasizes not just sustainable farming but a broader philosophy of sustainability that includes energy, architecture, and social systems. Over the years, Holmgren has continued to innovate in the field, promoting permaculture principles for both rural and urban settings. Through his teaching, writing, and practical applications, Holmgren has become a leading figure in the environmental and sustainability movements. ; 24.3 x 18 x 2 cms; 286 pages.
