Focusing on the exploration of hidden woodlands, this survey guide highlights the significance of 'lost woods'—areas not marked on maps that reveal historical land use. Developed from a long-term project initiated by Professor Ian Rotherham in 2009, it incorporates findings from volunteer investigations in the eastern Peak District, supported by funding from the Sustainable Development Fund. The guide aims to synthesize research while encouraging further exploration and community involvement in understanding these landscapes.
