Veteran Trees: A guide to good management (IN13)

Many of the techniques familiar to our forbears have been lost or swept aside and current techniques have been re-assessed. This handbook provides our current understanding of best practice in veteran tree management. It gives practical advice on all aspects of managing veteran trees, from the importance of sometimes doing nothing at all, to taking positive action for individual trees, their habitats and dependent species. All is set in context by an understanding of the way in which trees grow, age and decay.
