Information

What if Britain’s history could be told through its trees? Jonathan Mullard begins close to home, with the ancient Capon Tree near Jedburgh - a lone survivor of the vast Jed Forest that once covered the Borders. In Forgotten Forests, he traces 12,000 years of woodland history across Britain and Ireland, revealing how forests shaped human life, fuelled civilisation and were, in turn, transformed by it. Blending science, archaeology and vivid storytelling, this is a journey into a lost world that still echoes in our landscape. A fascinating new perspective on the deep history of the places we know so well.
