Sydenham Woods Oak Tree Protest

An activist against the proposed felling of two 100+ year-old oak trees, occupies the site under 'Pissarro's' footbridge whose renovation has been deemed necessary by the Southwark Council , on 17th November 2020, in London, England. The Nunhead to Crystal Palace (High Level) railway once passed through the Wood and Impressionist artist Camille Pissarro (1830–1903) famously painted a railway landscape from the bridge in the 1870s. Sydenham Hill Wood forms part of the largest remaining tract of the old Great North Wood, a vast area of worked coppices and wooded commons that once stretched across south London. The habitat is home to more than 200 species of trees and plants as well as rare fungi, insects, birds and woodland mammals.
