#NationalTreeWeek

A legend tells of a bird with a broken wing who begged each #tree for shelter from the frost and snow. The birch, oak and willow refused; only the fir trees offered their help. For this kindness the Frost King ordered the North Wind never to take their leaves. #NationalTreeWeek

When we should be protecting every scrap of woodland, the proposal to fell these mature trees for 300 car spaces is an environmental step backwards/erasing vital habitat, worsening carbon emissions & undermining the very natural heritage #NationalTreeWeek is meant to celebrate.🌳

We've already cleared nearly half of our world's forests - but they can bounce back when given the chance. Hear from our ambassador Sir David Attenborough on what we must do to help our forests thrive. 🌳 #NationalTreeWeek #ShareOurPlanet

Legend tells that during a great forest fire the Douglas fir was the only tree to offer shelter and protect the mice. The tree told them to hide inside its cones; to this day you can see their little tails and two back feet peeping out from between the scales. #NationalTreeWeek

Today is the first day of of #NationalTreeWeek! Trees are vital for all wildlife and humans. Bats rely on trees either as roosting places, as a source of food (trees can support a large variety and abundance of insects which are important for foraging bats) and commuting routes.

Legend tells that when the willow tree heard a mother cat's distressed mewling, it reached its branches into the river and saved her drowning kittens. Wherever their little paws touched the branches catkins grew; a reminder to us all of this kindness. #Caturday #NationalTreeWeek

"The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn" - Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) #NationalTreeWeek #trees #nature

Today's the start of #NationalTreeWeek! At Sherwood we work hard to protect some incredible ancient oak trees- the most famous being Major Oak 🌳 Join us every day this week to meet a lesser-known, but equally amazing ancient of the forest 👍

Although Ents come from Tolkien's Middle-earth, they are similar to the tree deities of folklore - the Oak Man; Apple Man; Dryad; Leshy - the forest guardians. The name 'ent' is derived from the Anglo-Saxon word for 'giant'. #NationalTreeWeek #Tolkien 🖼 Stephen G. Rae

Silver birch or, ‘Lady of the Woods’ is associated with light, love and new beginnings. Beloved by me, I expressed this love creatively in the making of a dryads gown. Hand embroidered and sculpted in silk: woven, raw fibres and thread. #NationalTreeWeek #nature #creativity #art
