On my way to the BES symposium in Canterbury to present ‘Revealing cultural histories of Scottish woodlands: for restoration and engaging communities’ and to listen to the great range of speakers.
Good to see a few other speakers from Scotland in the programme.

Native tribes living in the NE US burned forest underbrush to open up the space while keeping the tree cover. I ran across this controlled burn that I think represents how this worked.

The goal was to create an open game park-like space in which people lived alongside the animals they hunted and the crops they grew. This approach was different from how English settlers lived in nature, hence a key aspect of the culture clash.

I’m flabbergasted and not a little impressed by the ’ precision evident on this early cast marker. I have seen distances recorded to the nearest 1/4 mile (440yd resolution); distances recorded to the nearest furlong (220yd resolution); but never one recording distance to the nearest !!! I wonder who needed to know it was exactly 1056yds to Stocks? (I know I’m cheating but it’s too good not to tag with )

If, like me, you play indicator species , then your card should be quite full at the moment! Here are two of the best: the flamboyant Wood Anemone (Anemone nemorosa) and the less demonstrative but highly poisonous Dog’s Mercury (Mercuralis perennis).

Hollow ways, carved by the soles of thousands of feet and hooves over generations, are not common in the . So to find and two in a day, each with their own delightfully distinct character, was just a joy.

A bit of for a Monday. The extraordinary that delivered from on to the coast eight miles away. Weight and friction meant the heavily loaded wagons did not run away on their downhill journey. Ingenious and beautiful

The serried hedges of ancient enclosures to the fore; beyond the large squared fields and hilltop stands of Parliamentary enclosure. The view reminded me of this :

‘Glory be to God for dappled things –
For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow; …
Landscape plotted and pieced – fold, fallow, and plough;
And áll trádes, their gear and tackle and trim.’

Gerard Manley Hopkins, ‘Pied Beauty’

Pasture Hill, North Yorkshire

An acrylic painting featuring the landscapes of my home county Yorkshire. At this time of year, the winter wheat springs up with an eye watering green, making mattress ticking fabric that stretches over the country. It was cold but sunny yesterday. Hope you're all enjoying the break.

The P. Russell Homestead, dating to 1850, although the concrete steps, bricks, and iron ties (on tope of the concrete steps and used to secure porch columns) show that the house was updated.

Curiously, nothing above the foundation survives. Perhaps a fire burned the rest of the structure?

In the pit of the ruin, there was an iron frame that used to be the piano. This family was well off and had resources.

The only good thing that can be said about these gigantic tree covered spoil heaps, is that they have prevented the huge new warehouses spreading towards any further towards Stanion.
In the days before LIDAR, none of this would have been visible.

@Nyddfwch I am also finding in Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire & N Hertfordshire that almost every wood here today, is only present because earlier mining had left the land fit for agriculture. Here are ancient iron ore adits at Wakeley Woods in Northants for example.

My script for (emphasis on Welsh cases) based on local surveys 2014 to 2019. One of my conclusions was that landscape often classed as Welsh Ancient Woodland was often post-industrial woodland or land severely damaged by coal mining even though the coal mining or iron activities may have ended in the seventeenth century or earlier enabling the current recovered woodland to present as Ancient.
