Using examples from his book Trees: Their Natural History, Peter Thomas looks at the way in which woods and forests were vital elements in everyday life for our ancestors providing food, fuel and timber and making everything from beds to bows and arrows. He will also discuss how trees cope in a diverse range of environments and the problem of being large and long-lived.

Peter Thomas – is a senior lecturer and researcher in environmental science at University of Keele, Staffordshire.
