It’s that time of year again. A time to look back on the previous 12 months.

We shared our thoughts and insight a lot during 2019 in the news section of our website.

Here are the 5 most popular news stories of 2019.

1. Finding Myself – People ask me “why did you become a tree surgeon?” In this story I share the reason why as I open my heart.

2. Niall The Furniture Maker Q & A – We chatted to Niall in November 2019, furniture maker for Newcastle Tree Services and ‘Origins’, our new bespoke furniture business.

3. Owning My Thoughts and Actions – Another November 2019 blog story where I lost my wallet, for five minutes, whilst grinding stumps in Newcastle.

4. Newcastle Tree Services Supports Forest School – I have been interested in and fully supportive of Forest Schools in our communities for 3 years. Forest schools reconnect children and teachers with our natural woodlands and outdoors environment.

5. The Journey – I come from a place lost in darkness, unable to stand in clarity. I hid in the light for many years behind my business or behind some minor achievements and external delusions, but inside I was sick.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to read our stories, both on our website and across our social media platforms. It’s your input that will now help to shape what we write about during 2020.

Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and prosperous 2020 from Steve and the Newcastle Tree Services team.
