[Fungus]

i do hope you were scarce with the info

 

I was, I gave him my card and told him to ring me if he wanted an offer on paper and said that I used to be her Majesty the Queen's tree consultant for the royal palace parks in The Hague too.

Had a quick look at their family tree, quite an imposing bunch!

Do the current owners have a fairly high public profile, like seemingly at least every male forefather for the past few hundred years? If so, perhaps the most effective way of taking action would be to ask a local newspaper to have a look, perhaps together with a local "enthousiast expert". There must be a few IVN groups or similar?

 

It would bring their actions to the foreground without there being anyone in particular "pointing the finger" or haunting them. (that's the job for the local/regional newspaper, they love that sort of thing).

Daniel,

I already contacted the local Tree Foundations and asked them to have a look and give their opinion, because both "Kerkepad" trees are in a book on 250 special (veteran) trees (Bijzondere bomen in Nederland, Bomenstichting, 2010) in The Netherlands and are on the national tree monument list.
