Hereford Voice Posted November 27, 2021 Report Share Posted November 27, 2021 Catastrophic to see this 360 year old oak tree fallen due to #StormArwen strong winds during the night. This is located at Belmont Haywood Country Park the tree fell down around 4.45am this morning, such sad news. Thank you to our good friend Piotr Biurkowski for sending us these photographs today.

twowheelsgood Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 It doesn't look too healthy at the base - probably a natural demise, which is sad to see, but part of nature. I really hope that it's left as it is and BBLP don't get in there with their chainsaws and do their worst. This will be a huge wildlife resource for many years to come.

megilleland Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 Natures way of culling the weak and diseased stock of trees. We have large trees behind our houses which haven't been looked at for over twenty years. Eventually they too will come crashing down with the consequent damage. As long as it doesn't happen on someone's watch no one really cares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
