EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this enchanting snapshot captured by Marcus Webb, we witness a remarkable display of nature's ingenuity in the heart of Suffolk, England. A bed of vibrant Willow (Salix sp. ) coppiced stools takes center stage, surrounded by an army of meticulously laid branches forming a protective hedge against browsing deer. As spring breathes life into the land, these cleverly managed stools serve as both shelter and sustenance for various woodland creatures. The majestic deer roam nearby but are thwarted from devouring the tender shoots thanks to this ingenious defense strategy. The scene is reminiscent of a medieval fortress with its impenetrable walls. However, instead of stone battlements, it is the intertwining branches that create an impenetrable barrier against herbivorous pests. This harmonious coexistence between humans and wildlife showcases how thoughtful management can protect delicate ecosystems while ensuring everyone gets their fair share. Amidst the lush greenery and damp surroundings typical of East Anglia's lowland riversides, these resilient willow trees stand tall as guardians of their habitat. Their coppiced cuts not only promote new growth but also provide essential materials for local craftspeople. So let us raise our glasses to this extraordinary print capturing Mother Nature's resourcefulness at its finest – where woodlands thrive, animals feed safely, and harmony reigns supreme!
