I was an interloper, who had the cheak to invite another along with me, but a good other, Christina, a new resident of Wenhaston. And we are partnering to measure the heritage trees in our square mile. First we had to learn how to measure. On a cold December day, after tea/coffee in the lambing shed, of a farmhouse in Wenhaston (what a glorious suffolk village this is) we set out to measure three impressive oaks.
David Mitchelle had done a survey in 2010.
What is a heritage tree? we asked. What ever you make it, said Alan. With that glorious confidence of years of wilding.
We have a list of what to note
Girth / Grid Reference / Type (standard, maiden coppice)
Where are these whoppers??
