Yew and Whitebeam on the South Downs at Harting Down SSSI, West Sussex. I love these little combinations of Yew, Whitebeam, Harthorne, and, if you are lucky, Juniper, on the summits of downs, above the scrap-slope ancient woodland and in front of short grass pasture. Magic natives of downland.

In UK (usually) timber harvesting companies buy standing timber from forest owners, then engage harvesting contractors and hauliers, and sell to sawmills.
People get paid when the timber gets to the mill and is weighed.
If timber is harvested & sat at roadside, then people haven’t been paid.
