Welcome to the Web pages on
British Trees
sponsored by U-NET Ltd.

We have collected together various reference material including An Introductory Guide. For more detailed material you can refer to our Bibliography. If you know of other useful books please advise with if possible a one paragraph review.

Silva by John Evelyn published in 1664 is probably the first "tree book". We are very fortunate to have a copy on-line courtesy of Guy de la Bédoyère. * NEW *

There are a wide range of organisations involved with trees - both conservation and forestry. We have provided a list of commercial and non-commercial bodies who you may want to contact. There are a wide range of magazines and publications that you might find useful
