Step back in time with the ancient custom of lopping, an essential tree surgery practice rooted deep in agricultural traditions. Witness the artful pruning of beech trees in Epping Forest on the eleventh of November, as sap rises in the cool night air, just as it did in 1939. This timeless practice, also known as "wood lopping," is a testament to the enduring connection between humans and nature. From the engravings of yesteryears to the present day, lopping continues to shape and preserve our forests, as seen in Paris and beyond.
