Have you ever seen an oak tree dance?

Britain is full of 'lost' rainforests, predominantly in the southwest and northwest of England, western/northwestern parts of Wales and the west coast of Scotland. There are other areas where the conditions are perfect too, like this one in the Peak District National Park.

When the rain starts and the cloud base drops into the rainforest, the trees come alive. Everywhere you look, there is magic and mystery.

@timsmalley I was fortunate enough to be shown round Glenborrodale on the Ardnamurchan peninsula earlier this year, and it was one of the most magical places I’ve ever experienced. We need to protect, cherish and understand the importance of these irreplaceable habitats. Here’s a story I wrote about the experience: https://www.beer52.com/ferment/article/1432/when-is-a-tree-not-a-tree

When is a tree not a tree?

We return to the spectacular RSPB Glenborrodale

@croasdalio Adnamurchan is a really special place. I have only visited twice, but have been meaning to revisit & give it some proper time with the camera. It’s perhaps an excuse to visit after joining the RSPB when Truss chose to attack nature.

I’ve long been a supporter of the Woodland Trust, Wildlife Trusts & NT, but the proposed investment zone plans were a disgrace given what is happening to the wildlife in the Tees estuary as a direct result of the free port dredging.
