Everything to do with trees and woodlands.

We must stop Center Parcs from destroying this ancient woodland near Crawley in Sussex. It would be completely unacceptable to lose this irreplaceable habitat to a holiday park! Drop in and find out more! Turners Hill 11th February

Great to help out @WaywardBee and Paul Youlten this week with planting new hedgerows at the School Apiary Project https://t.co/cIfVuNDyBt via @jcmoore111

I have said this a thousand times but worth repeating: If you are a gardener or nursery do not use peat. Ever. If you are a garden centre - stop selling peat products right now!

I know it's legal, it's kiln dried so should not harbour pests and diseases, but it still does not feel right. Firewood and kindling, spruce and birch from Latvia, when it could be @GrowninBritain

We are stoked to have become a @WoodsureFuel assured Ready To Burn supplier! #drylogs, #readytoburn

@logsforlondon @WoodsureFuel Great stuff! 🔥🔥🔥#staywarm

We are excited about the launch of the Woodland Wildlife Toolkit: a UK-wide, landscape-scale, species-detailed, cross-sector partnership to improve woodland management. If you own a wood, big or small, have a play, and send feedback to the developers. https://t.co/saaG0r2COJ

*New thread* Today we've published two new reports on UK #land use & #biomass setting out why they're important in tackling climate change & how our land can help to build resilience to climate impacts. Here's a summary of both: https://t.co/f0gae2P0dm and https://t.co/1VTDM4cxhS

Great article about ash and the work of @the_ash_project

Some magical shapes from today’s survey in Epping Forest. 🌳

[Robert Penn @RobPennWildwood]

This is a long read. You’ll need half an hour and a cup of coffee, but it’s worth it if you want to have a strong sense of what ash dieback is going to do to our woodlands, and what we need to plant to succeed it. https://t.co/OeHOthbRAw

The wall stood no chance!

Another fantastic hornbeam pollard 😃

[BioRegional Forestry @BioForestry]

This beauty turned up in the survey today: 152 cm dbh hornbeam pollard, Hainault Forest :)

[BioRegional Forestry @BioForestry]

And another ancient coppice stool a few hundred metres up the road. Castagno Sant Agata, 22m girth. Stunning 😊

The “Hundred Horse” sweet chestnut. Probably the most stunning tree I have seen. It’s apparently the oldest sweet chestnut in the world at between 2-4 thousand years old, and only 5 miles from Mount Etna’s crater-one of the most active volcanos in the world!

[BioRegional Forestry @BioForestry]

Time to get stuck in to this beauty! @WoodlandHerita1 @bettertrees

My Wollemi survived this weeks -10 degree blast 😊

A thirsty alder making use of a long forgotten well!
