Longlisted for the Wainwright Golden Beer Book Prize 2018Cockshutt is a particular wood - three and half acres of mixed woodland in south west Herefordshire - but it stands as exemplar for all the small woods of England.For four years John Lewis-Stempel managed the wood. He coppiced the trees and raised cows and pigs who roamed free there.This is the diary of the last year, by which time he had come to know it from the bottom of its beech roots to the tip of its oaks, and to know all the animals that lived there - the fox, the pheasants, the wood mice, the tawny owl - and where the best bluebells grew.For many fauna and flora, woods like Cockshutt are the last refuge. It proves a sanctuary for John too.To readThe Woodis to be amongst its trees as the seasons change, following an easy path until, suddenly the view is broken by a screen of leaves, or your foot catches on a root, or a bird startles overhead.
