- Summary:
- Though limiting their study to one particular county, Barnes, environment manager at Norfolk County Council, and Williamson (English landscape, U. of East Anglia) suggest that the methods they describe and at least some of the conclusions they reach might be applied elsewhere in Britain. Indeed they are more concerned with developing and explaining methods for studying old trees than cataloging trees. They cover dating trees; trees of farmland and hedgerow; woods and wood-pastures; meaning, beauty, and commemoration; and orchards, pine rows, and willow lines.
