Some of you may remember the wiggly tree that I posted for some weeks back.

It’s just barely starting to put out some leaves, but it’s still unclear what type of tree it is.

The leaves have patterns that also look good in B&W, so here you are.

Looks like a Corkscrew Hazel (Coryllus avellana 'Contorta'). The shape does look really similar to that willow

I’ve started writing my #Wildlife #ForestGarden #newsletter again! Latest issue is here:
https://buttondown.email/natureworks/archive/wood-meadows-are-my-new-jam/

And yes, #WoodMeadows are my new jam. I’ll be writing more about them as a model for human activity creating biodiversity, in a democratic and engaging way. I am, to put it mildly, quite excited.

I’m also promoting my fundraiser so that I can go to the #European #conference on #Ecological #Restoration in Estonia. #WoodMeadow heaven

This is the conference. It looks absolutely amazing

This is the paper that really did it for me, When culture supports biodiversity by Kull, Kukk & Lotman 2003

> Neither in any other community of Western Europe, nor anywhere in the tropics, does the number of vascular plant species within a few square meters reach the numbers counted on the Estonian wooded meadows.

> Biodiversity of the meadow ecosystems is connected to human use and it declines significantly if this use ceases.
