Woods for All


To hear some talk you might think woods are threatening places where unknown horrors lurk in dark corners. But the woods have so much character, each tree growing in its own way. The result is a richness of forms and a complexity of patterns. Diversity of form even in one species is increased when the development has been unimpeded by outside pressures which usually come from man. In this favourite corner every season produces its own atmosphere and its own sensory pleasure. On the wood floor here ferns and young trees thrive among the dead leaves and dry twigs. And the odd rock provides a comfortable seat from which to listen to the stream below.
