@ForresFWF We are students at Glasgow School of Art studying in Design innovation and Interaction Design.
We had a great time going to Sanquhar Loch this Wednesday to weed together and learn a lot about some of the local trees and species! We will be happy to see you next time!

(3/3) Western Hemlock tends to grow extremely tall, with dense branches casting heavy shade so not much (plant or wildlife) can live beneath it.

We like to keep our woods open and accessible so best to remove of of these trees before they become too tall! 😊

🧵(1/3) A snowy afternoon with the volunteers 🌨 Our woodland management work is coming to an end - but not before removing some Western Hemlock!

[Forres Friends of Woods and Fields @ForresFWF]

(2/3) Western Hemlock are trees, that look like Christmas trees and are native to North-America. They were brought to Scotland for timber plantations and have spread through seeds in native woods lands as well (like ours) 🌲
