Each month has a miscellany of practical content, scientific gems and cultural wonders. The book includes recipes (elderflower champagne, pickled walnuts, spiced apple chutney), crafts (whistle whittling and making alder ink), curiosities to spot, notes on woodland wildlife, tree care instructions, folk traditions and marvels from a variety of trees and their surrounding habitats.
