The Ents make a move

[Amelanchier]

A remarkable Lime I saw last week, up at the National Trust's Felbrigg Hall in Norfolk.

 

Really glad someone saw the sense to leave it be when it went over, really adds character to this wee avenue.

 

I used to volunteer at Felbrigg when I started in the industry - the guys there have a really good approach, very minimal intervention (in certain places). At times its a little too focused on the habitat for an arb to stand (a few 50% beech reductions here and there) but the invert surveys back up the theory.

 

Nice pics everyone!

Studies just for NT or NWT?

 

Do you recall if there was any red data list species kicking back amongst the butchered Beech?

 

Understood that there's "a lot of water under the bridge" since you were there as a fledgling Tony, so no worries if the memories a bit sketchy

 

 

 

Certainly was a wealth of Habitat and a fair few intesting reductions.

What a top thread. i will endeavour to find an emormous oak that is in full health after being blown over in '87 i think the farmer said. It must be 5 foot diameter!!
