Catastrophic to see this 360 year old oak tree fallen in Hereford

[Hereford Voice]

Catastrophic to see this 360 year old oak tree fallen due to #StormArwen strong winds during the night.

This is located at Belmont Haywood Country Park the tree fell down around 4.45am this morning, such sad news.

Thank you to our good friend Piotr Biurkowski for sending us these photographs today.

It doesn't look too healthy at the base - probably a natural demise, which is sad to see, but part of nature. I really hope that it's left as it is and BBLP don't get in there with their chainsaws and do their worst. This will be a huge wildlife resource for many years to come.

This is such sad news, just goes to show the power of Mother Nature

Natures way of culling the weak and diseased stock of trees. We have large trees behind our houses which haven't been looked at for over twenty years. Eventually they too will come crashing down with the consequent damage. As long as it doesn't happen on someone's watch no one really cares.
