Touring the West Country in the late 1990’s, Ruth Pavey found herself in the Somerset Levels. On seeing this expanse of reclaimed land under its wide, soft skies she was struck by its beauty and set-out to plant a wood, tree by tree. She bought four acres, and over the years transformed them into a haven where woodland plants and creatures could flourish; an emblem of enduring life in a changeable world.

Copies of her book A Wood of one’s own and her second book Deeper Into the Wood : a year in the life of an amateur naturalist will be able to buy on the day.
