(in article ):

Hello,
I'm sorry for intruding but I don't know where else I could possibly ask
the following question. I'm sure once having read the following sentence
(not necessarily literally): "No matter how small your garden is reserve
at least 1 acre for woodland". Does anybody know who said (wrote) that.
May I ask you to point to a corresponding reference?
Hope I didn't bother you too much.
Thanks in advance


I thought it sounded a bit like Gertrude Jekyll, but the nearest reference I
can find suggests advice believed to be offered by Lord Rothschild : "No
matter how small your garden is, you should aim to have a minimum of a
quarter of an acre of natural woodland in it."
