🌳You may have seen that we had to bid farewell to our wonderful beech tree last month. It may seem odd to feel such a sense of loss about a tree, but this wasn't any old beech! The Bodley's beech had been a fixture on the King’s landscape for over 180 years! We've loved receiving all of your of your fond memories, photos and artwork of the Bodley's beech, including a recollection from a certain Zadie Smith (KC 1994)! These have all been added to our Shorthand site about the project (🔗in bio). Here's our very own Visitor Guide @Joseph_Nutman with his beautiful poem "On the felling of Bodley's beech". Do you have any special memories of our beech tree? 📸: © Martin Bond @acambridgediary et al. @wallacetimberservices #BeechTree #NaturePhotography #PoetryInNature #CambridgeUniversity
