James's own plans to study forestry were changed by the 191418 War in which he served with the Scots Guards. At the end of the war Jim ran a pit-prop production centre in Wales and later became a timber adviser in the South of England. He joined the newly established Forestry Commission and planted the first conifers in the Conway Valley area and eventually was in charge of the reafforestation of eight Welsh counties for the Forestry Commission and was awarded the MBE. This book, with its vivid descriptions of forest fires, the havoc of gales, the devastation of forests for timber in two world wars and the careful replanting makes the reader more aware of the trees around him.
