A project to use shoots and seeds from a 'very special tree' that was felled during Storm Arwen to help reforest an area of Northumberland is underway.
Staff and volunteers from the Kielderhead Wildwood project found that an 'iconic' lone pine at Scaup Burn was uprooted by gale force winds last November, with the 110-year-old tree left lying on its side.
However, the fallen tree is set to leave a legacy, with young shoots from the branches of the fallen tree, as well as the six still standing, will be grafted onto a new batch of saplings for planting at a later date.
