We are pleased to announce that the winner of our ‘Year of the Tree’ Summer Photo Competition is Paul Thompson MBE with his image of a Phoenix tree lit by the rising sun, which gives a hopeful message at this difficult time.

There are two equal runners-up with very different images: David Lloyd’ black and white photo of a veteran oak and Kasia Ciesielska – Faber’s photo of a browse line in the morning mist.

The competition was very popular and there was a large number of entries to consider. The judges first selected a Longlist and then made a shortlist from it. The winner and runners up were then selected from the shortlist. See below the Winner, the two Runners up and  the Shortlist and Longlist entries.
