We fought hard to save the ancient trees & their life-sustaining wild ecosystems, to get Avatar Grove area protected & turned into a public park. It was previously on the corporate deforestation list prior to the hard grassroots fight to save this area of Port Renfrew, where old growth forests were rapidly dwindling due to colonial capitalist style of short-term greedy gains & putting nature last. Nature should be first.

Checking on Medusa: A Slippery Slope to the Ancient Oak

Caught on Greenhow Bank in a shower and finding myself taking more time than anticipated, I decided to take a shortcut by descending the bank directissimo, which led me to a spot above Medusa.

My thought I would pay a visit to the old gorgon to check on her well-being. The descent was nothing short of heart-pounding, as I manoeuvered ...

An #AncientTree, these #trees are rich and rare ‘living heritage’ they need to be afforded far greater protection, for our #futuregenerations

1/3 @bluekoala065 I love the Summergill Brooke Ash, an ancient tree nearly at its end of life, but in great condition! Quite unique because of its species - Ash dieback, & because of it’s location, a floodplain right on the Welsh boarders, and how its lifetime growing conditions have shaped it. An open grown ash tree, more than likely an Ash tree Silvopasture. Those branches had space to grow into…

From our #GreenFriday walk in a #Bottomland forest. We celebrate the continued survival of this 1000 year old Cypress. #AncientTree

Heres a 500 year old oak for you. This oak is in the grounds where I am staying and the camera simply can't capture its scale, majesty and gracious personhood.

Here visible on the skyline is Woodbury Iron Age Hill Fort #HillFortWednesday It is a special place for me. Not only my old school house but the name of the road where my mother was born. It is the #hillfort from which #OwainGlyndŵr Welsh/ French armies had a face off with the army of the English king #HenryIV before they were starved out and returned home. In the foreground is Worcestershires largest #AncientTree #thicktrunktuedsay. #digitalArt
