Horses are helping to manage ancient woodland at Stansted Airport.
Suffolk Punch horses are being used to remove about 35 trees felled at Eastend Wood, a site of special scientific interest (SSSI) just beyond the end of the runway.
The felling is part of a 10 year management plan to allow the wood to continue flourishing.
