Treelines selected by Janie Hextall and Barbara McNaught

Trees are all around us, taken for granted, marking the seasons, and forming the backdrop to our daily lives.  Who hasn’t got a favourite tree? Who hasn’t planted a tree? Climbed a tree? Sat in the shade of a tree? Who hasn’t walked happily through a wood?

‘The wonder is that we can see these trees and not wonder more’
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Here are poems about trees, woods and orchards that reflect that wonder.  A wonder that we feel and want to share.  If you love trees, this is for you.
