the ancient red oak in my parents' neighbour's backyard; it's at least 200 years old - I've never seen one so big or tall, each major limb is as big around as a 150-year-old oak 🌳

My favourite oak before it lost a huge branch to "summer branch drop" (lower left back). 😢

Please sign petition & share!

I grew up in this Borough. It’s about time we had laws demanding permission for ANY kind of tree work on mature trees (not just ancient ones).

On Arbor Day, our community gathered beneath a white oak that has been standing since 1665 — the oldest known in Buncombe County — to formally dedicate it as a Treasured Tree.

What an evening. 🌳

200 years old and she already knew. Lancashire.

#ancientoak #nativetrees #rewilding
An ancient oak tree, estimated 150-200 years old, photographed at dusk in Lancashire. The trunk is broad and deeply furrowed, heavily colonised by moss and lichen, splitting into multiple large limbs that reach upward and outward against a pale blue sky. The crown is just coming into leaf, the fresh growth sparse and bright against the dark bark. A wooden nest box is fixed to one of the lower limbs. At the base, a weathered fallen branch lies among emerging ground vegetation. The overall form suggests great age and structural permanence.

This oak saw centuries rise and fall- now it watches the soil dry, the insects vanish, and the silence grow. Its resilience is not eternal.

A large, mature oak tree stands beside a winding woodland path. Its thick trunk is gnarled and weathered, with ivy and holly growing at its base. Dappled light filters through the canopy above, casting shadows across the forest floor. The scene is quiet, lush, and ancient.

It is Winter Solstice.

This ancient oak near St John's Town of Dalry lost its main trunk many years ago, but has kept on growing.🙂

🌳To whoever needs to hear, remember this tree and that lighter days are ahead.

3 #trees ? In fact they‘re all trunks meeting at 1 base: a giant #AncientOak over 200 yrs old! It has survived much & is now facing extremes of #heatwaves & #drought Yet it remains #leafy & majestic-spreading branches wide-both shelter & #habitat #SaveAncientTrees #Garden4Wildlife #photography -amb
A gigantic ancient English Oak tree-its 3 trunks joined at its massively wide base (obscured by shrubs in this photo taken by amb). This stands in a nearby lane, as it has for centuries. Such trees are irreplaceable & must be preserved. A large lot beyond the lane where this & other ancient trees have been surviving for centuries is destined to be turned into a massive shopping centre by a Big Name grocery chain. We can only hope that when the dreaded day comes that they begin to build that completely unnecessary monstrosity - in the process destroying a large area that has, over decades, become a wild, overgrown habitat full of wildflowers, grasses, shrubs & small trees - the builders will adhere to the TPOs (Tree Preservation Orders) that have been placed on this & several other ancient trees. This tree is home to so many creatures. For that matter, so is the vast corner of land beyond it, left to grow wild. It is a travesty that all that habitat will be lost…all for the greed of landowners & the developers they sell off parcels to. Glad there are TPOs but…So much around us has been paved over. Even on an individual scale, too many people in our neighbourhood are paving or gravelling over much-if not all-of their backyards…Every healthy small tree, mature shrub & flowering plant they rip out to accommodate their lounge chairs or-worse-bloody bbqs, destroys desperately needed habitats in a world increasingly ruined by mankind. Please Garden For Wildlife, however you can. Spare a tree for them. Nurture a potted flowering plant. Sow wildflowers. Set out a tray such as those used under potted plants & keep it filled with clean water -& in shade-placing a couple small stones in it for bees & small birds to climb out after a drink or bath, respectively.🙏help wildlife however you can. They need it more than ever in this heat & drought. 💦 🪴🌸🌳 You could be saving so many vital, valuable lives with any of these measures…& making a world of difference, literally.~💞

A 2nd #AncientOak #tree uplit by the setting☀️At least 200 yrs old this magnificent #Oak seems to be lifting its outstretched arms to the sky. We’re happy to say this is among #trees saved via a #TPO -Tree Preservation Order #Hazel drapes over where we were #Nature #SaveAncientTrees #photography -amb
Another of the incredibly beautiful & mighty ancient Oak trees that, thankfully, has been placed under a TPO - Tree Preservation Order. This means that although a vast grocery complex/gas station/etc have been approved to be built on land behind this & other ancient trees along a lane, the TPO imposes strict restrictions on any/all construction that has yet to begin. The TPO even protects the area extending beneath the ancient trees, ensuring soil over its network of roots should not be covered or driven upon, as that would compact the soil & lead to great harm. Thank goodness-& local campaigning-for the intense & complex ecological surveys that were done on this tree’s land. Those surveys acknowledged this & several other ancient trees as significant habitats for a variety of creatures, from birds to squirrels, insects &-possibly-even bats. This massive oak’s trunk & canopy are so enormous amb could not capture it all in one photograph from the lane. Behind us-& seen overhanging at the very top of the picture-are leafy branches of a Hazel tree. Those are cropping up in many places-likely the results of squirrels forgetting where they buried hazelnuts. (In fact, we have one such Hazel in our little backyard & it’s spread rapidly even in this heatwave)! If you have ancient trees nearby, try checking with your local authorities or Woodland Trust to make sure they are protected. These enormous trees are incredible living survivors & provide shelter & homes to so much wildlife. As Global Warming/mankind are doing their worst, these giants are worth fighting for, to save them. We were so glad to discover-through amb’s painstaking research-this is among several ancient trees that have been granted TPOs…Hopefully, that will help them to live on…& give life & homes to a world of wildlife amidst their widespread branches & even within the bark around its massive trunk. Too often we take trees for granted. These ancient oaks remind us we must treasure & protect them.~💞💚
