Sycamore Gap sapling planted in our Botanic Garden 🌳

Planted by Director Nick Bailey, it joins the National Trust's ‘Tree of Hope’ project – one of 49 saplings from the iconic tree.

Lord of the Rings film set? No, it's Kingley Vale.

The reserve contains one of the finest yew forests in western Europe, including a grove of ancient trees which are among the oldest living things in Britain.

Pure magic.

I always find #landscape #photography difficult to make work. It's so hard to ground… the ground.
But sometimes, I find a way through.

View of a number of green fields, first sloping down to a hedge of trees and bushes, then sloping up with long fences snaking across the rising and uneven ground towards another line of trees. Horses are dotted around the spacious fields.

Our volunteers have worked with Croydon Council to get some new signage installed / replaced / fixed on Section 4 of the #LondonLoop - and to add waymark discs to new posts from our stocks.

Great to see these newly installed posts and signs in place making the route easier for everyone to follow.
