Newly planted trees beside a lane

A row of crack willows (salix fragilis), which were planted immediately beside the lane, has been cut down and their trunks and branches stacked further back from the lane. A row of young trees has been planted behind the stumps.

Trees along a lane

The trees, on the left, are crack willows (salix fragilis) and are located just round the bend in the image showing TR1045 : Newly planted trees beside a lane. It is possible that the other trees were cut down, so that a new fence might be installed further back from the lane’s edge, as this one is a continuation of the old fence.
