LONDON IS A FOREST (NEW)

In London, 8.6 million people are crammed into just 600 square miles alongside 8.3 million trees, and millions upon millions of other plants, insects and animals. According to one UN definition, this makes the city a forest. From London’s edgelands to its clamorous heart, this book follows meandering trails to explore the urban forest’s geography, history, legends, obvious and obscure species, diverse wildlife, and the people who have helped shape this remarkable environment over many centuries.
