Happy #ThickTrunkTuesday. This beautiful ancient coppiced alder lives on the bank of the Nadder on Harnham Water Meadows land. Girth is approx 5.70m at height of 1.50m. It can be seen if you attend Trust open days as the land isn't normally open to general public.

On Saturday 10 August Harnham Water Meadows had one of their annual Summer Open Days. The event started at Rose Cottage and included water meadow tours, sheepdog demonstration and refreshments. Keep an eye out for future events from the trust. #HarnhamWaterMeadows #Salisbury #Wiltshire
