#TolkienTuesday #TolkienTrewsday #Tolkien "Forests" thread. Our primary mental image of the Shire may be of open green hills and dales, but the Woody End is one of the largest features of the Four Farthings. In this map of Bilbo's Favourite Walks, you can get a sense of the size of the woodland.
A clip of Tolkien's letter titled Beautiful place because trees are loved, cut from the yellowed page of The Daily Telegraph from 4 July 1972, and fastened to the background with adhesive tapes. It is owned and copyrighted by The Telegraph. The letter said: Sir, with reference to your leader on 29 June, I feel that it is unfair to use my name as an adjective qualifying gloom especially in a context dealing with trees. In all my works I take the part of trees against all their enemies. Lothlorien is beautiful because there the trees were loved; elsewhere forests are represented as awakening to conscious of themselves. The Old Forest was hostile to two-legged creatures because of the memory of many injuries. Fangorn Forest was old and beautiful, but at the time of the story tense with hostility because it was threatened by machine-loving enemy. Mirkwood had fallen under the domination of a power that hated all living things, but it was restored to beauty and became Greenwood the Great before the end of the story.
"Beautiful Place because Trees are Loved" is the title of Tolkien's letter to The Daily Telegraph (4 July 1972)
A response to an article that used the phrase "Tolkien gloom" for trees, he insisted that he's always on the side of trees against their enemies. 1/4

#TolkienTrewsday Week 164: Forest
"There was one picture in particular which bothered him. It had begun with a leaf caught in the wind, and it became a tree; and the tree grew, sending out innumerable branches, and thrusting out the most fantastic roots." - Leaf by Niggle, J.R.R. Tolkien

I love this theme because I got to draw one of my favorite scenes from The Hobbit.

Trewsday is the Hobbit name for Tuesday! Tolkien Trewsday is a community event based on BlueSky but sometimes is run on other online spaces. Each week we form a fellowship to collectively post about a pre-selected theme about Tolkien (his works and his life) as well as adaptions, academic writing and creative stuff such as fanfic, fanart and cosplay. Themes are selected by myself (the organiser) and a steerage group but also by polls or guest hosts/curators. Together we will build a collective outpouring of creativity, knowledge and love for J.R.R. Tolkien. The inspiration for this comes from the highly successful #FolkloreThursday which engaged lovers of Folklore, academics, artists and more to share their love of folklore. We only ask that if you are joining in, please do so with courtesy and kindness in your posts/tweets. This is a positive-action community event, open to all and supportive of fan diversity. Intolerance, racism, bigotry have no place here. Thank you! In 2025 Tolkien Trewsday had a redesign. The Two Trees remain symbolic but now Telperion (Silver Tree) has a sword trunk and Laurelin (Gold Tree) has a staff trunk. There are two versions of this new design (Top and Left).
🧙♂️🧵 2/ Let’s begin! This week’s theme (Week 164) is “Forest”. Please use the following tags when you join in: #TolkienTrewsday #TolkienTuesday #Tolkien. You can tweet art, quotes, thoughts, blogs, academic work, reading recommendations, etc. 🗨️

Theme poster for May 2026 displayed in the Tolkien Trewsday calendar format along with a digitally edited photograph (in Photoshop with filters, no AI!) taken of A glade near Roos in East Yorkshire. A tree bends to the left of the photo whilst a glade heavily covered with leaves and flowers takes up the greater part of the image. This is believed to be the glade where Edith danced for J.R.R. Tolkien and spark behind the legend of Beren and Luthien. I visited here on a guided trip by Tolkien Society member Michael Flowers in 2017.
And then in May…
