Out of the Woods takes you on a revelatory ramble through country and city – from woodlands of majestic oak and ash to mean streets lined with cherries.
Containing myriad tips for recognition and rich in tree-biography and gossip, this book will enable you to tell your birch from your beech as you pass at 70mph, and will inspire even the most unreformed couch potato to pull on the wellies and brave the local park in search of the national treasures scattered all around us.

Reviews
Cohu's intimate writing style will inspire you to leave your armchair on a voyage of discovery into an oft ignored aspect of landscape.
Cohu's book is unlike any other tree book I have come across... there is no jargon at all. Instead he gives memorable descriptions... I never knew walking with trees could be so entertaining.
Cohu intertwines history, poetry, folklore and hardcore botany with the deftness of a master coppicer...A book to relish while burning hand-hewn logs in an open fire.
