Arborglyph

Heres a really intesting article on the history of Arborglyphs ( the art of carving into live trees) in the American west.

Very interesting Sean, I'll give it a good read later.

 

Don't recall any 'Arborglyphs' on the old Basque pollards when we were over there studying them

 

I'll have a trawl back over the images to see if I missed anything.

 

Good find mate

Thanks for sharing. Always been interested in shepherding since reading John Muir's accounts of the Seirra Nevada prior to him getting the National Parks set up. Nice details in this article.
