If I had a wood of my own

Sheena Cook on Tuesday, March 1, 2022


I would…….
Plant my oak saplings
Wildwood edge it
Native trees
Flowers for bees
Green tunnel to lead you in
With reclaimed stone
Build a folly
Mystic and mossy

Create a dewpond
In a clearing
Where wild animals roam
Wish for a ‘Wood Wide Web’
Of fungi to spread
Long for birds
To sculpt their nests
An area to coppice
A place to rest

Stand a Green Man there
Alive with dappled light
Symbolising the wisdom
Of a holistic woodland idyll
