Top London-based photographer Sam Scott-Hunter spent a freezing afternoon today capturing the beauty of the OneOak tree after the recent heavy snowfall.

Sam will be creating an album of images that we will share online soon.  We will also be working with him to capture the beauty of the wooden products that are made from the OneOak tree in the future.

Sam has created a stunning timelapse series showing the sun setting behind the OneOak tree.

Oak Moon by Rebecca Hind

Artist Rebecca Hind has been visiting the OneOak tree regularly (see previous post).  She has braved freezing temperatures and long nights to watch the tree as it changes through the seasons and through the time of the day.

Rebecca’s most recent sketch show here was inspired by a full moon.

“Our most recent full moon. Not only did it fall on New Year’s Eve, it earned the title Blue Moon, being the second brimming of the month. Folklore grants each month’s full moon at least one name, often chosen according to local preoccupation. And for December the one which fits our tree is Oak Moon. That confluence was graced with crisp clarity and spangled with stellar brightness. A gift to a painter of night skies and the OneOak. Here is a first impression of that night last week, when the frost cracked underfoot and fell in sprinkles from the branches. ”

Gabriel Hemery reports with Jo Clark on field trials established in 2003 to test five walnut hybrid varieties.  Planted within an innovative silvicultutral mixture, five years on, some have shown outstanding growth.  The relatively fast growth of this hardwood-producing tree may prove to be a valuable component in some new plantation woodlands, particularly short rotation forestry systems.

More details of the paper can be seen in our Forestry Horizons resources database.
