Veteran trees and industrial and urban development

[Xerxses]

Forgot about this thread.... should update with some photos...

 

Pictures from the grand opening of the Towns newest and smallest "Nature preservation area" The most common thing is to protect the tree itself but in this case the whole un-tarmacked area is protected thus giving all leaves, twigs, branches and even the new plant the same protection!

 

Quite a turn up!

 

The County Directory Board Preservation officer for endangered species gave a talk on the importance of and historical aspects of oaks in the area and then the Bigshot local politician planted a sapling found in the area (from the very same oak) with the aid of a Nutty arb with some unconventional ideas... (Hence the micro nature reserve....) He also gave a talk where he pointed out the importance of this tree and also how it has brought the community, local buisnessmen and the Commune together in this venture.
