Nature clues and Navigation

This old Willow used to stand between two fields, which

Cattle would have browsed in.

The tree would have been regularly pollarded, high enough

to stop cattle feeding on it.

After many years of this the trunk would have got thicker and

thicker, as you can see in the picture.

At some point this field was turned over to timber production

and the willow was left to its own devices.

As this tree grows on the banks of the river Teme, which

Is prone to regular flooding and battering from the

South-Westerly's, has become unseated and gone over

at an insane angle, this points the tree in a North-Easterly

direction - Good for navigation.
