Today I thought it might be nice just to give a flavour of a few of our Counties special trees. Ash at Walltown Crags, Hawthorn at Greenlee Logue, Hornbeam at Newton on the moor and oak at Hareshaw Linn, just a flavour of those we have found with so many still to discover.
These trees survive and indeed often thrive in one of the most difficult environments trees are likely to encounter. They adapt by keeping their heads down and growing at their own unique pace. They twist and turn in special ways to ensure a minimal target for prevailing winds to challenge whilst ensuring they provide priceless sanctuaries for their companion flora and fauna . They are indeed very special trees and they are our special trees!!
