From the humble woodchip to raised garden beds: In this community garden, strawberries and Chioggia beets thrive in beds made from recycled woodchips. But the life cycle of wood doesn't end there. In Picture No. 10862997, a luthier carefully selects woodchips for his craft, continuing the tree's story. Meanwhile, in the forest, an Eurasian Wryneck (Jynx torquilla) excavates a nest hole in a tree trunk, using woodchips to line it in Picture C017 / 7904. Yet, the woodchip's journey isn't always so idyllic. In C013 / 7038, woodchips contribute to pollution in a paper mill in France. The anatomy of a tree reveals the complex journey of woodchips, from garden beds to nests, to industry and back again.
