🌳 Tune in to watch Landward this Thursday at 8.30pm on BBC Scotland! 🌳

We’re so excited to announce The UK’s first ever National Hedgerow Week will take place Saturday 29 May – Sunday 6 June 2021. Hedgerows are wonderful wildlife habitats, provide uplifting greenery and can even help tackle climate change. 💚 Save the dates! 📅

A petition to protect a number of ancient oaks and hornbeams from felling by Haringey Council. Although two trees have already been felled, the felling of the remaining is now suspended pending a meeting on 5th March. Thanks Jane for sharing with us!

Am staggered by the resilience of trees, refusing to bend with the weight of snow, instead standing haughty & proud as if to say ‘bring it on!’ Kind of feels like our community spirit today. #BeastFromTheEast

Nature can do so much good for our wellbeing during this difficult time. So help us stay connected to trees and one another by sharing your lockdown walk, favourite green space or perhaps your winter garden using the hashtag #TreelyConnected 🌳 Our CEO @sara_lom_ explains 👇

This Hornbeam clump @herstmoncastle are genetically identical; they came from a single tree. Repeated coppicing over many centuries fragmented the stool, like a fairy ring. With a collective girth of 17m, this 'tree' is the largest and perhaps oldest in Sussex! @WoodlandTrust

Something to think about on #ThickTrunkTuesday - girth can be very misleading as regards to age. These two old ash trees near each other at Loch Katrine in the #Trossachs #Scotland are the same age as each other (a little over 300 years) with girths of 4m and 1.5m respectively.

It's so essential to choose the right place for new tree planting. We need to retain our mature trees too. @PKTreeWardens

Pleased to be able to help! @PKTreeWardens

Can you ID these common twigs and buds?

Have you heard about #RootsofRemembrance? 🌳 If you would like to plant a tree in memory of someone special we would encourage you to read more and find out how to take part at https://t.co/zkl38DzpBw.

In pagan lore, the scots pine was often seen as a ward against winter months due to its evergreen nature. Druids used the wood to make winter fires that would 'draw back the sun', whilst the resin and needles made incense that cleansed places of evil spirits. #FolkloreThursday
