‘Ashes Ashes’ is a poem celebrating a huge coppiced ash tree known amongst the Tregoniggie Woodland community as the ‘Tregoniggie Titan’. Ash trees in the UK are under threat from disease, ash dieback, which threatens to wipe out the entire ash population, and third year student Nicky Peters writes with this in mind, creating a poem that is an homage and a possible farewell to a fascinating member of the woodland community.
