The Royal Oak of Richmond Park is a mighty fine, is a tad creepy, ancient oak tree. It might look a little worse for wear but then again, it is thought to be around 750 years of age and still going strong! It has been pollarded for centuries, a practice which helps it live longer. See below for another example of pollarding.
This blog is about my passions, climbing trees and studying birds. Most are of my own local and licensed bird monitoring, including ringing birds under license. And tree climbing adventures, sharing the magic for when you are stuck in the office and need a spot of day-dreaming to help you through! Thanks for looking and feel free to ask questions. For my day job I run Wild Tree Adventures taking people high up into the canopy.
