My favourite trees from Moot Hill in Wymondham. Excited to be helping @conservationarb.bsky.social with this local project.

Some beautiful vet trees and stumps which lay on the proposed route of the western link road in Norwich. Whilst the council have withdrawn the application, with the planning reforms set to give projects like this the green light, we must not get complacent. #veterantree #trees #britishecologist
A woodland which is under threat from the western link road taken in spring. There’s a decaying tree stump in the foreground laying on it’s side providing valuable deadwood habitat. A knarly tree stem of a veteran Norway Maple. The hole goes right through the stem. A vet tree which resembles a butt 🤷🏻‍♀️ this tree is part of a section of ancient woodland under threat from development of the western link road. A mega tree stump laying on its side, slowly decaying. The stump has hollowed and most of the bark has long gone leaving some fantastic features.

Some superb veteran trees today, vet elders and a beauty of an oak. They were all in the Fens, the elders were the only trees bar a mature poplar on one site. The oak had some fab PRFs. #veterantree #tree #fens #elder #britishecologist

It’s been another day surveying veteran trees - here are a few of the potential roost features where you may find bats - one of the many reasons veteran trees are so important. #veterantree #bats #ecology

A large, windswept veteran ash tree with gnarled branches stands in a green field behind a traditional dry stone wall, with rolling hills in the background under a bright, clear sky.

A wide shot of a solitary veteran tree on a hill with a thick, twisted trunk and sprawling limbs that reach toward the ground. The tree is set against a rolling green pasture with a band of brown, dry reeds in the foreground.

A veteran tree, broken and bent, reaches its scraggly ends towards the heavens. It is surrounded by winter-deadened grasses with shelves of thin ice suspended in midair, and a small stream of water winds past the base of the tree straight to the photographer.

Same tree. Crown first, then the roots.
Another oak on our Lancashire smallholding. Rooted in a former quarry. Centuries of negotiating with stone, fusing, arching, building its own foundations.
#veterantree #oak #ancientwoodland #lancashire #rewilding #smallholding #trees
A tall veteran oak in full early summer leaf, photographed from below looking up. The trunk rises straight and moss-covered through dense woodland understorey, with spreading branches and bright fresh green foliage against a clear blue sky. Massive exposed buttress roots of a veteran oak, twisted and fused around quarry stone over centuries. The roots form natural arches and voids at the base of the trunk, covered in moss and lichen, with woodland understorey vegetation surrounding them.

A massive veteran Crack Willow by Willow Beck at Northallerton, North Yorkshire. The tree has 3 stems, the main one having a girth of 4.8 metres. This is likely to be one of the riverbank trees shown on the 1st edition OS 6" map, surveyed ca. 1850. #veterantree

Life On Deadwood #ShareMondays2025

Even when a #VeteranTree comes to the end of it's life, it's story continues, providing refuge to so many species like this #LittleOwl 🦉 #nature #wildlife #birding @theroyalparks.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social @ldnwildlifetrust.bsky.social
The frame is almost filled with a storm damaged, broken tree, that is now left as deadwood in it's environment for insects and birds. On the broken section of the wood there is a little owl with its feathers all fluffed up. It's speckled plumage blends in with the mottled grain of the deadwood that it's perched on, helping it to blend right in to its surroundings. You could walk past and not even notice it when it's sitting in stillness like a statue. Here's the RSPB's description of a little owl: This small owl was introduced to the UK in the 19th century. It can be seen in the daylight, usually perching on a tree branch, telegraph pole or rock. It will bob its head up and down when alarmed. In flight, it has rounded wings, rapid wingbeats and flies with a slight bounce. It’s 21 to 23 cm long, with a wingspan of 54 to 58cm. The feathers are cream/buff, brown and white, with yellow legs and a brown/black beak.
