This Lime tree is estimated to be 2,000 years old and this is what it looks like inside. The tree has grown outward over time to form a ring of connected clumps. There's something very special indeed about standing at it's centre and being surrounded by something so ancient. #trees #AncientTrees

"California’s redwood trees are a national treasure and a living witness to our past. The largest of California’s redwoods grow in excess of two hundred and fifty feet tall and are capable of living for millennia. In recent years, an alarming number of old-growth trees residing in Redwood National Park have been shorn of the gnarled protrusions that grow on their trunks, called burls. Essential to the tree’s reproduction process, these burls are illegally cut by poachers who seek to sell the distinctive wood on the black market for use in fine woodworking. Concerned over the welfare of the iconic old-growth trees, photographers Kirk Crippens and Gretchen LeMaistre work with park rangers to access and photograph each damaged tree for their series, Live Burls. Working with a traditional 8x10 inch analog view camera, the artists produce breathtaking images that recall the majestic beauty of the ancient trees while drawing attention to the environmental injustice at hand.

🌳 UK tree-huggers unite! Let's spend our precious lives mapping EVERY ancient tree because nothing screams excitement like ancient oaks and #JavaScript #errors. 📜🤦‍♂️ Surely, the only thing more riveting than watching paint dry is adding a tree to a database with 190,000 entries... and counting. 🙄🌳

Felling of ancient oak tree probed by police

Story by Tony Grew - BBC News
April 15, 2025

"The cutting down of an ancient oak tree in north London is being investigated by the Metropolitan Police.

"The remains of the oak, estimated to be up to 500 years old, were discovered by council workers last week in Whitewebbs Park, Enfield. An emergency tree preservation order has now been imposed on the base of its stump."

This beautiful, ancient yellow #cedar tree has a massive, moss covered trunk. It is estimated at over 500 years old. There are very few #ElderTrees of this scale found outside of protected parks on Southern Vancouver Island now. The few remaining unprotected old growth forest tracts should be conserved for stability & longevity of our wild, ancient ecosystems & for the future generations to enjoy/admire/study.

The need to protect old growth forests has been the case for decades but even more important in present times because of accelerated climate change & the increased greedy desperation of corporate ecociders & our governments who aid/abet the pillaging which destroys wild environments that are essential for humans to sustain our lives on Earth. Valuable medicines are found & several medicines have yet to be found in these old growth, coastal temperate, wild rainforests. We need to protect these ancient forests for the above listed & many more important reasons.

The image features the base of a massive yellow cedar tree in a dense forest. The ancient tree's thick, textured bark is heavily coated in green moss & lichen, in the damp, old-growth environment. Small ferns & leafy green plants grow around the base of the tree. Other trees are visible in the background, further highlighting the forest setting. The perspective is from a low angle, emphasizing the tree's size & imposing presence.

I can't tell you how happy it makes me to learn that there is a "UK Tree of the Year" competition, let alone a European one.

The #BCNDP #BCgovernment has said no to a proposal to create a #ProtectedArea for an area of #OldGrowth #cedars near #DuncanLake.

"At this time, #BCParks is not considering including this area in the provincial protected areas system," wrote Minister of Land, Water and Resource Stewardship #NathanCullen in a letter to Grant Trower of Howser, B.C., on Sept. 3.

Trower is the founder of the group #WildlifeHabitatsForTomorrow that has been advocating for the protection of a 531-hectare grove and wetland.

He wants #BritishColumbia to declare the #CedarGroves a protected area, which is a category of protection just short of a full-fledged provincial park.

“There are many #trees in this grove that are well over 1,000 years old, and one that is estimated to be 2,100 years old,” said Trower. “They are the largest trees in the whole southern interior #rainforest. It isn’t just old growth. It’s #ancient old growth.”

He told the Nelson Star that Cullen's letter will not deter him.

"The advocacy is ongoing to ensure this special place will remain for our kids and grandchildren, for this grove is unique and easy to experience," he said, adding that the next steps will include media attention, targeted field trips and obtaining #FirstNations #endorsement.

Old growth, giant red cedar tree with huge knots on it. Fenced off with ropes. In a protected tract of old growth forest.

My nature & ancient trees loving heart breaks, every time I see more clearcut deforestation. With the rapid acceleration of climate change, our foolish, greedy, short-sighted government continues to accept dirty deals with ecocidal corporations - going against public interests. They greenwash & whitewash while still allowing mass clearcuts to happen in disappearing ancient forests on the island.

Please - don't stop fighting to #ProtectOldGrowth #forests 🌲❤️🌲 #AncientTrees need #ForestDefenders in times of increased, rampant #CorporateGreed & sellout #ecocide enabling governments ✊️

#MonochromeMonday

They keep killing the ancients.
Men who kill elder trees, are men who kill their children's futures.
Souls must be disconnected from nature & their spirits desperate for money, for them to be OK destroying #OldGrowth forests, for a temporary paycheque.
There are more ethical ways to earn a living.
Stop believing industrial & government #greenwashing lies.
#ClearcutLogging kills #ecosystems & throws #ecological balance out of whack.

Government tells us to not fret, that they're managing #forestry better - they're #greedy, #sellout #LIARS. You can go see for yourself, how many clearcuts are still happening on big scales, at several places across Vancouver Island & some parts of BC interior where greedy corporations are decimating the last inland #TemperateRainforest in the world. Our #neoliberal BC NDP government is OK with ongoing mass ecocide - they get money from industry lobbyists 🤑🤮😡

Old growth tree stumps in foreground. 2 logging clearcuts in front of the stumps with a strip of young trees in the middle. The upper clearcut runs up the mountain to another section of young trees. Foggy mist covers tree tops & obscures the mountain.

The mind-blowingly ancient Ronsac oak on the estate at one of my places of work. This tree is so old that it is mentioned in the Domesday book. The whole of the original trunk has decayed, giving rise to three normal sized oak trunks. You can stand in the middle and feel protected by oak spirits... #ThickTrunkTuesday #AncientTrees #Trees #ExtraordinaryTrees #QuercusRobur #EnglishOak #Oak #Quercus

The Publow Oak. Very very old, perhaps 800 years old?
This is now part of the Great Avon Wood, where I have been volunteering, planting trees today.
Don't worry, they are going to leave it clear around this magnificent old oak, so that it is still visible in all its glory.
