The Burrow

The majority of Walnut Keepers live in burrows situated between the thick, heavy roots of trees. When they construct a door to protect them from creatures of the night, they shape it to fit the opening rather than shaping the opening to fit the door. They work with nature.

On a recent walk, I came upon several roots that would be ideal locations for burrows and photographed them. I can only imagine what a delight it would be to make a home between the roots of a giant oak.
