EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Wood stack MCF01_02_1359" captures a mesmerizing scene in Rewell Wood, located in the serene surroundings of Arundel, Arun, West Sussex. The image transports us to a bygone era, specifically the 1900s when woodland management practices were at their peak. In this enchanting composition by Katherine MacFee, we are presented with a remarkable sight - a towering stack of coppiced wood nestled amidst the lush greenery of the forest. The carefully arranged logs stand as a testament to human ingenuity and our harmonious relationship with nature. The photograph not only showcases the beauty of Rewell Wood but also sheds light on an ancient practice known as coppicing. This sustainable method involves cutting trees close to ground level and allowing them to regrow from their stumps. By capturing this momentous technique through her lens, MacFee reminds us of our responsibility towards preserving these traditional methods that have shaped our landscapes for centuries. As we gaze upon this evocative image, we can almost hear the rustling leaves and feel the crispness in the air. It serves as a gentle reminder that forests like Rewell Wood hold immense historical significance while providing essential resources for countless generations. Katherine MacFee's skillful photography allows us to appreciate both nature's wonders and humanity's role in its preservation. Through her lens, she invites us into an immersive experience where time stands still amid majestic woods and whispers of past woodland management practices linger
