"A large part of the new Forest Management Plan is the process of ECOLOGICAL THINNING….. the “material” is go to mills & suppliers to help keep them in work.

Well - who'da guessed?

#victorian forest activists ( salvage, forest gardening, fire management all have one thing in common: removing trees to sell them)

There is no end to native forest logging.

Greenwashing in Blackpool?

United Utilities are funding (to the tune of £1.8m) part of on-going programme to plant trees in Blackpool.... in the face of some dying, or be killed by climate change & others being dug up & stolen (sadly confirming the stereotypes of Blackpool's social problems).

Whether this will shift bill-payers perceptions of UU's record on water & sewage management is a different matter.... but more trees is always good!

The neighbor in the back turned on a super bright light for unknown reasons, making the trees look very eery. No snow or ice.

« The human being resembles a tree; its root is a covenant with God: that root must be cherished with all one's might. »

Dead #trees are not wasted timber dollars - they are sources of food for literally thousands of beings in a #forest #ecosystem, from tiny microscopic beings to insectivorous birds. Standing dead trees are known as snags, while a fallen dead trees are nurse logs. A cut or natural stump can serve the same #ecological function as a #NurseStump.

Nature wastes nothing. If there is a nutrient source to be had, there is a being to benefit from it. Nurse logs, standing snags & nurse stumps play hosts to all sorts of mosses, lichens, fungi, insects & arthropods, many hidden deep inside, as well as other living beings that prey on them.

Nurse #stumps are still deeply rooted; new plant, tree & fungi life grows out of their tops. Nurse stumps & dead stumps that have no new growth atop are like anchor systems for living trees growing in forests. You destabilize the ecosystem when you remove them from their natural #environment.

A moss-covered stump stands in the foreground, resembling a small table, within a lush forest. Tall trees with textured bark and patches of moss rise in the background, while fallen leaves and various green plants cover the ground, contributing to the vibrant atmosphere of the woodland.

"Unfortunately for humans, a Christmas Tree is irresistible to a cat. They are attracted to the wires, shiny ornaments, ribbons, garland, and the tree itself. To them this is a jungle gym playground designed for cats. They get to climb, chew, bat at things and stare blankly into reflective ornaments."

"A greenbelt of about 3,000 km was completed last week around the #Taklamakan, China’s largest desert. Part of a national effort to end #desertification and curb sandstorms, the tree planting took 46 years and spans more than 300,000 km2."

Hi there! It’s been a while since I’ve posted, so here’s a quick reintroduction.

I’m Tim, a woodland and nature photographer with a deep love for capturing the beauty of trees and natural landscapes. My photography focuses on mindfulness, connection, and the magic of slowing down to truly see the world around us.

If you love photography, nature, or mindfulness, you’re in the right place!

Cthulhu tree stump in Florida

#trees #Cthulhu #Lovecraft #HPLovecraft #Florida #plants #monsters
A bizarrely twisted tree in a sunlit woodland clearing, surrounded by a carpet of dry brown leaves. The tree curls back down on itself, its thick branches snaking tightly around its own trunk and curling into the ground. The general appearance is beautifully monstrous, as though the branches were tentacles. A roughly circular scar on the bark where you might expect to see an eye, if this were a creature, strengthens its Cthulhu-like vibes. A few metres beyond it are ferns and upright trees.


'Scotland’s tired landscapes declared hidden ardour in the sun. Brown became bronze, yellow turned to gold, and rust to shining copper.'

A colour photo of a woodland. The trees have lost most of their leaves and the sea of bracken is dying back but in the sun the colours are so vibrant.


#ThickTrunkTuesday one day late:

130 year old Lebanese cedar, one of the in all of Hungary. Such a magnificent tree.

The "Seven Chiefs" plane tree on Margaret Island, Budapest. Almost 200 years old, it was injured during the siege in WWII and regrew with 6 trunks (one of which branched in two later).

'#Trees have no legal status’: calls rise for stronger protection in #UK against felling

"In Norse mythology, it is Yggdrasil, the world tree, with its branches in the heavens & its roots in the underworld, which underpins the very existence of all creation. When it dies, the myths tell us, the world dies with it."

The beautiful & rare, open grown ‘Summergill Brook Ash’, that probably was a part of an ancient Ash Silvopasture, sitting near the Wales - England boarder, 300 - 400 years old, without ash dieback! It would of witness ‘The Wars of the Three Kingdoms, the British Civil Wars’. It stands strong, with a slightly more decayed Ancient Ash neighbour downstream, holding the oxbow together. 6.96m in girth an Ancient Tree. Black and white image.
