Max Adams – Consultancy Director
Max was a professional archaeologist before taking up careers as a woodsman, traveller and writer. His biographies of Admiral Collingwood and John Martin were followed by critically-acclaimed works on the Dark Ages (The King in the North, In the Land of Giants and Ælfred’s Britain). His Wisdom of Trees (2014), Little Book of Planting Trees (2019) and Trees of Life (2019) are all celebrations of humans’ rich relations with trees and woods. He owns and manages an 8-acre plantation of native broadleaves in County Durham, and is an active campaigner for the planting and study of trees and woodlands. He is now setting up a project to plant 15 acres of native trees near where he lives. He sees the human partnership with landscape and nature as a key to our futures.
