The picture shows a full-size willow woven sculpture of an
ancient oak tree, created by the Artist Beryl Smith from Llanidloes. It was
commissioned by the Woodland Trust as part of the Ancient Tree Hunt. It was
first displayed at the Royal Welsh Show in July, then at the National
Eisteddfod in August. It is also going to the Meirionnydd Show and will be
appearing at various other venues around the country.
The search for Wales' ancient trees brings together Environment,
Sustainability and Housing Minister Jane Davidson, and Rupert Bear!
Jane Davidson AM, the recently appointed Minister for Environment,
Sustainability and Housing in the Welsh Assembly Government, has shared a
platform with Rupert Bear at the Royal Welsh Show.
The event took place at the Wales launch of the Ancient Tree Hunt, a project
that aims to involve thousands of people in finding and mapping all the fat,
old trees across the UK.
Jerry Langford, Director of Coed Cadw in Wales has
challenged everyone to join the thousands of other ancient tree hunters and
go out and find at least one ancient tree and to register it on the
Ancient Tree
Hunt website.
It’s easy to do, and you’ll be taking part in what is
a really important project for the future of our ancient trees.
