Denham, UK. 15th October, 2020. A tree cutter cuts ivy off a high mature tree ready for it's likely destruction inside an HS2 compound. The tree is on the other side of a high security fence next to the Denham Ford Protection Camp where environmental campaigners are living high in the trees protecting them from the clutches of HS2. The HS2 construction for the controversial High Speed Rail from London to Birmingham raises great concerns for environmental activists due to the impact the project is having on the countryside and woodlands.
