Tree felling... 'Eckington woods' - South Sheffield.

Hundreds - maybe thousands of tonnes.. of felled trees alongside the track.... a regular walk for us locals and recently, cases of Ramorum disease (Phytophra Ramorum) – a highly infectious pathogen were found in 'Eckington Woods' and the 'Moss Valley', and as there is no treatment for this fatal disease, the only option available to manage or contain it is clear felling, a process which is under way now.. to larch and sweet chestnut trees...the disease is harmless to humans.

A beautifully composed image David.............the light is particularly lovely and the detail is wonderful.

A pity the story behind it is a bit sad.............but hopefully they've caught it all in time. It's good to hear they intend to plant more trees!
