The book serves as an informative resource aimed at helping nature enthusiasts and rural ramblers identify native British trees and larger shrubs. It not only covers indigenous species but also includes information on exotic trees that have become established in British landscapes. At the start of the volume, the author lays out his intentions, explaining that the guide is not just another treatise on forestry but a practical tool for plant identification. The introduction emphasizes the aesthetic and environmental value of trees, contrasting natural growth with commercial forestry practices. Step invokes historical perspectives and ecological insights, noting the vital role trees play in their ecosystems while guiding rambles through Britain's woodlands, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of various tree species to follow.
