Recenzii

“Walking 36 miles through the Welsh countryside, [Yeomans] considers a proposed new national forest, which is designed to help tackle climate change, boost biodiversity and promote nature tourism.”

"An informed and affable guide to Welsh nature and history."

"Return to My Trees is an enthusiastic, witty, and sobering travel account. It gives voice to the dying souls of abused forests and vivifies lands that are untouched by human hands; it warns that a choice must be made regarding what will be left for future generations."

"This book offers an uncanny mix that
looks back to Wales’s rich history and legends
and forward to its aspirational green
future. VERDICT: For prospective Wales
walkers, recommended. For armchair pilgrims,
a delight."
