The New Forest ponies have been hungry this winter as this gnawed Beech stands testament to. Normally a tree will survive a little gnawing, but on this level, I'm not so sure. I can't remember seeing so much extensive gnawing as I've seen this winter. Yeah, I regularly see it, but this year I've seen several trees like this one, a sight that in previous years I was unfamiliar with. I wonder if this is just natural, you know, some years they chew more than others, or is there something else happening and is it connected with our wider environmental changes.
