Makes me feel a little old (!), but great to see a woodland I designed and planted 30 years ago really coming into its own. Wild pear, blackthorn and wild cherry in blossom. Small-leaved lime, whitebeam and field maple leafing. Hybrid larch towering. #forestry #woodland #trees #landscape

A huge thanks to @nationaltrust.org.uk supporting my book research for The Forest Guides England and Wales, published with @chiffchat.bsky.social @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social I recently visited Ebworth in the Cotswolds, donating a signed copy of the Wales edition for its new Woodland Library.

Honoured to have delivered The Osmond Lecture at King’s Ely school today. Hopefully inspired some bright minds to consider forestry - the noblest of professions - as a career. Even if not, to embrace nature in all they do in future. Also to meet England’s oldest plane tree (1674).
