  • Piles of trimmed timber logs awaiting shipment from a timber yard near Eureka, California. According to the American Forest and Paper Association, California has 99,599 acres of logging forest with the Forestry and logging industry employing 5,640 workers earning a payroll of $122,670. But recession has brought about a slump in the need for house-building materials and many have lost jobs though this industry still features large in the local and state economy, though in diminished form from the past.

  • The number 5 has been sprayed in aerosol on to tree bark to identify their location in an English wood. As part of a practice in forestry to identify boundaries or specific trees in an orchard or wood, the landowner or manager has made the location easily found using the bright pink colours.

  • A fence warns walkers to this part of the ancient woodland habitat in Sydenham Hill Woods, on 18th November 2020, in London, England. Once part of the Nunhead to Crystal Palace (High Level) railway which once passed through this flat part of Sydenham Hill Woods, its track bed can be followed to a disused and closed tunnel which is now a registered bat roost. Sydenham Hill Wood forms part of the largest remaining tract of the old Great North Wood, a vast area of worked coppices and wooded commons that once stretched across south London. The habitat is home to more than 200 species of trees and plants as well as rare fungi, insects, birds and woodland mammals.

  • A young deer lies dead beside a busy highway on a road near Fairchild Air Force Base, Spokane, Washington State. Very recently run-over but seemingly unharmed, this animal has head injuries and died immediately from a collision with a passing vehicle, such as this heavy articulated lorry which blurrs past this location. This is forested area and the deer's natural habitat but too often wildlife in its natural surroundings violently meets the modern human environment and the animal comes of worst. As a result of the death, the roadkill was taken by members of a US Air Force survival course at their nearby facility and so it formed an unscheduled extra lesson in preparing venison for the pot that night (see Corbis image entitled 'US Air Force survival instructors with recent roadkill').

  • Standing with a bloodied knife and hand is an instructor of a special US Air Force (USAF) survival course (see also Corbis image 42-18212808) who has butchered a deer near their facility at Fairchild AFB, Spokane, Washington State. The man teaches escape and evasion techniques to visiting air crew whose flying careers depend on passing this rigorous week of survival instruction. Should they be downed in hostile territory for example, they will need every skill learned here to survive possibly weeks being hunted in the wilderness so trapping and preparing fresh meat for human consumption is important for survival. Here the teachers stand around the venison which is strung up on a branch, its intestines and organs already removed by a hunting knife.

  • A woman farmer taps dripping resin from a rubber tree in a plantation on Pulau Langkawi Island, Malaysia. We see the lady surrounded by even rows of trees, all carefully spaced when planted. Each cool evening the tapper removes a thin layer of bark along a downward half spiral on the tree trunk. She makes an incision in the bark of the tree and fluid then drains into a collecting vessel. If done carefully and with skill, this tapping panel will yield latex for up to 5 years. Malaysia is one of the top exporters of natural rubber. Langkawi is an archipelago of 99 islands in the Andaman Sea, some 30 km off the mainland coast of northwestern Malaysia.

  • Floodlit river Clyde falls at New Lanark, the industrial revolution community village managed by social pioneer Robert Owen. New Lanark is on the River Clyde, approximately 1.4 miles (2.2 kilometres) from Lanark, in South Lanarkshire, Scotland. It was founded in 1786 by David Dale, who built cotton mills  and housing for the mill workers. Dale built the mills there to take advantage of the water power provided by the river. Under the ownership of a partnership that included Dale's son-in-law, Robert Owen, a Welsh philanthropist and social reformer, New Lanark became a successful business and an epitome of utopian socialism. The New Lanark mills operated until 1968 and is now one of five UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Scotland.

  • Hill landscape looking from Sutton Bank to distant North Yorkshire fields below. From a high altitude, we look westwards down on faraway woodland, fields of farms and villages, located on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park. Sutton Bank, also known as Roulston Scar, is a hill in the Hambleton District of the North York Moors National Park, North Yorkshire in England. The hill is the site of one of the most important prehistoric monuments in the region—a massive hillfort built in the Iron Age, around 400 BC. It was the approximate location of the attack of the Scots in a major victory Battle of Old Byland they defeated the forces of King Edward II and John of Brittany, Earl of Richmond.

  • A landscape of traditional wooden agricultural huts on Polana Chocholowska a hiking route on Dolina Chocholowska in the Tatra National Park, on 17th September 2019, near Zakopane, Malopolska, Poland. Along the distant hill is a forest of spruce trees which have been badly affected by the European spruce beetle. The European spruce beetle Ips typographus is one of 116 bark beetles species in Poland which is killing thousands of spruces. The insects population can grow rapidly via wind and snow etc. which eventually leaves a gap in the landscape, thereby changing the forest floors ecology.

  • An activist against the proposed felling of two 100+ year-old oak trees, occupies the site under  'Pissarro's' footbridge whose renovation has been deemed necessary by the Southwark Council , on 17th November 2020, in London, England. The Nunhead to Crystal Palace (High Level) railway once passed through the Wood and Impressionist artist Camille Pissarro (1830–1903) famously painted a railway landscape from the bridge in the 1870s. Sydenham Hill Wood forms part of the largest remaining tract of the old Great North Wood, a vast area of worked coppices and wooded commons that once stretched across south London. The habitat is home to more than 200 species of trees and plants as well as rare fungi, insects, birds and woodland mammals.

  • Floodlit river Clyde falls at New Lanark, the industrial revolution community village managed by social pioneer Robert Owen. New Lanark is on the River Clyde, approximately 1.4 miles (2.2 kilometres) from Lanark, in South Lanarkshire, Scotland. It was founded in 1786 by David Dale, who built cotton mills  and housing for the mill workers. Dale built the mills there to take advantage of the water power provided by the river. Under the ownership of a partnership that included Dale's son-in-law, Robert Owen, a Welsh philanthropist and social reformer, New Lanark became a successful business and an epitome of utopian socialism. The New Lanark mills operated until 1968 and is now one of five UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Scotland.

  • As afternoon light fades, we see an incongruous landscape of false forest trees amid an industrial airport lot. A supporting pillar from the hotel chain, Sofitel, a 605 bedroom, 27 suite and 45 meeting room accommodation and business hub, is situated at the Heathrow Airport 's Terminal 5 hotel. The woodland screen is hiding a wasteland of undeveloped land that may soon be another airport hotel but at the moment, it makes for a strange rural/urban scene where the viewer is not sure where reality stops and fiction takes over. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009). .

  • The outline of electricity cables stretch across a gloomy winter sky in woodland near Wrington, North Somerset England. Diagonally, the cables travel across the picture but they are part of a line of L6 pylons that have already crossed many miles of South-West England's countryside, carrying 40,000 Volts along this network of aluminium cables to power some of Bristol's high supply demands. In the foreground we see the bare boughs and branches of trees creating a Sci-Fi scene of ugly 21st technology versus the beauty of nature. Insatiable appetites for raw power and energy means electricity is now an expensive comodity after climbing oil prices doubled electricity utility bills for some domestic users.
