We are pleased to announce the winner of our ‘Year of the Tree’ Winter Photo Competition is Cath Gothard.

The judges thought that the composition of this winning photo was excellent, drawing the eye along the line of willows to the bridge beyond, and back again past the willow on the opposite bank. Cath also captured the character of the willows as they cling to the bank through harsh winter weather, showing them as part of the eco system of the brook.

The runner up is Amanda Boardman. The judges particularly liked the way Amanda captured the character of the tree in the very clear silhouette, with a bird having just taken off from the upper branches, indicating the tree’s importance to wildlife even in the depths of winter.

The Shortlisted entries and Longlisted entries are also featured. Please scroll down to see them.

Spring Competition – Due to current restrictions on movement, the Spring competition is postponed until next year, and we will advise on the Summer and Autumn competitions nearer the dates.
