I found this tree in Boxworth and recorded it. Within this small Cambridgeshire village we are gifted beautiful ancient woodlands of Elms. This majestic tree had stood for a very long time and worthy recognition and registration, giving it some level of protection against development and unregulated tree felling. The area seems to have given some level of natural protection and isolation to the Elms which stand here today. The Elms would provide wood for shelter, warmth and wood sales for settlers overtime. The Elms along the old thoroughfare leading down School lane are also clones of the Ancient Elms immune to Dutch Elm Disease. We now enjoy the public footpaths navigating through these woodlands for residents and visitors to roam. Protection of the woodlands is vital to support the nature to include bats, owls of different species, butterflies and insect’s providing valuable habitual support.
