I’ve just been reading elsewhere that this kid who’s alleged to have done this didn’t fell it, apparently he damaged it and a tree surgeon felled it to make it safe at the request of the council. Don’t know if that’s correct or not. Little tw@t still needs a slap if he did damage it mind.

Beeb reckons there used to be more trees at same/nearby location and gamekeepers  have being felling them over the yrs this was the last one left.

What’s it to do with the Arb Association? Bit like a Motorcycle Club getting together with the police on Traffic laws, or the National  Trust come to think of it - they can’t even manage their own trees and woodlands correctly?

Hello Dan

Well the police would provide the legal aspect of the criminal damage that's been done. The Arb Association could then help promote good pruning practices and the National Trust, being the largest private land owner in the UK could help influence more robust legislation to help protect other trees and help prevent something like this happening again in the future. Being a member of both the Arb Association and NTS I've seen the positive impact they can have. 

You say they can't manage their own trees and woodlands correctly. Perhaps you could assist?

Doubt that . Keepers would want them to get the birds up .

I’m pretty sure that’s not the case eggs.

Evening Matty, I don’t know if it’s right. It was posted on a FB page by someone local to the area.

Worth remembering that the Nat Trust, which is quite rightly up in arms, is the organisation that felled the Wellington Cedar at Kingston Lacy only a few years ago.

 

Hypocrisy or a new enlightenment?

"The cedar tree, which was planted on the Kingston Lacy estate in Dorset in 1827, will be pulled down because it is rotten."

"The National Trust said the 'landmark' tree had to be felled immediately after experts found there was only five per cent live wood left in the trunk."

 

That's what I found on internet

Not allowed to string them up . Put them in jail with a release date of when any replacement tree reaches same dimensions as the one felled 🙂

 

Well, you can't. No trees....
