Julian Hight

About

Julian Hight has travelled widely, camera in hand, to document and tell the stories of historic ancient trees. Using both archival and contemporary photographs, old paintings and maps, Julian explores the story of Windsor Great Park and Forest told through its remaining ancient trees and customs – living links to its rich history.

Established as one of the first Norman royal forests by William I, the park and wider forest hosts trees thought to date back to the conquest. Windsor is one of the prime sites in Europe for ancient oaks and their associated wildlife – living descendants of the original 'wildwood'.

Chair of Wessex Ancient Tree Forum, Julian presents regular talks and appeared as judge on Channel 4's Tree of the Year TV programme, and is a verifier for the Woodland Trust Ancient Tree Inventory. He launched the Reviving Selwood Forest project in Somerset and campaigns for ancient trees and woodland.
