Ash

I am reading Ash by Archie Miles, a tribute to one of our iconic native trees. My wife and I saw ghostly swathes of dead ash in West Sussex last year, reinforcing the awful reality of their impending loss across the UK. The book is available from the Wildlife Trust shop at Queenswood.

Below is a recently completed watercolour of a stand of ash, oak and sweet chestnut in North Wood, you can see preparatory outdoor sketches here.
