  3. The Skipinnish Tree

    A 400yr-old sessile oak hiding in a sitka spruce plantation in Lochaber, Argyll and voted Woodland Trust Tree of the Year 2024.

    I'd seen videos and photos of this great tree and figured had a pretty clear idea how I wanted to shoot it myself - good thing I found it while it was still daylight as it's just a bit spooky... :)

  4. 🌲🎉 Oh, the riveting excitement of arboreal pageantry! BBC dedicates an article to a Polish beech crowned Tree of the Year, reminding us that even centuries-old flora can win popularity contests. Next up, the thrilling tale of a cactus who overcame all odds to win "Desert Shrub of the Month". 🌵🏆

  5. #ThreeGoodThings
    1) Had a really good read and reflection time today with the book “Growing Slow” by Jennifer Dukes Lee. Deep thoughts were had and perspectives were changed.
    2) Finally got to catch up with a friend. A “quick chat” turned into 5+ hours and both of us forgetting to eat. Oops… But my soul feels nourished!
    3) Discovered European #TreeOfTheYear is a thing. This makes me happy. We need a world version.

  6. Scotland’s ancient Skipinnish Oak wins UK Tree of the Year

    The tree in Lochaber is named after the folk band Skipinnish, who discovered it by chance while playing a local gig for the Native Woodland Discussion Group.

    The band said they were delighted the tree ('this great old wise being of Achnacarry!') won and plan to write a new song in its honour.

  14. So there's a "Tree of the Year" contest being held in my region, but I'm not super familiar with any of the trees nominated.

    Methinks I see a road trip (possibly on a bike?) in my near future...

  15. If you have a moment, consider dedicating it to voting for the Marquis' Oak in Utrecht for #TreeOfTheYear

    The national government has for years been planning to cut it down to make way for the nearby #highway, much to dismay of us locals. This is one of the ways in which we hope to apply counterpressure.

  16. 2/3 @bluekoala065 I thought it looked pagan-ish , or gothic, old hunting grounds 16th century ish. Antler shapes, with reaching arms. I love that it’s shaped the Summergill brooke, & possibly vice versa. Ash has the biggest biomass of roots, very deep rooted….It really ought to be in the #Cymru #treeoftheyear.
