Chosen by a jury of timber, forestry and photography experts, the top three images reveal the versatility of forests, which can be places to work and play, and even homes.

The winning images
First prize went to Xiao Ma for the image “Journey through the mist”, taken in Lockerbie, Scotland.
Bluebell Woods
The atmospheric image shows a harvesting truck on its way to the next destination, carrying freshly cut logs – and with them the stories of the felled trees.
Trevor Wright came in second with his image “Dawn in Laughton Woods”.
Taken in the early morning, the image captures the sun breaking through the trees in Laughton Woods in East Sussex, England.
“Bluebell Woods” by Ken Breeze made third place, picturing a carpet of bluebells in the Beaulieu Woods near Monmouth, Wales.
