Joining the Woodland Trust has given me a great insight into the cataloging and recording of details of ancient, veteran and notable trees throughout the UK. Using the Trust’s Ancient Tree Inventory, I am able to locate specific trees to document and draw.
The story behind the Tolpuddle Martyr’s Sycamore was interesting, and after a trip to view the tree and take photographs, I made two drawings in pencil demonstrating the effects of pollarding and fallen limbs, offering a gnarled texture with very interesting detail.
