thanks for posting and my respect to Jeremy Barrell for his actions

I have (sadly) found myself in Jeremy's position on a number of occasions whilst living and working in Oz and more recently in NZ. I know from times spent in Jeremy's company during his visits to Oz that this action by the NT would have frustrated and saddened him greatly. His presentation in the video is measured and carefully thought through, I hope that disapproval of such an extreme course of management action is felt by the NT and perhaps some in that organisation take time to consider how they might make more responsible and balanced decisions in the future.

 

For those who watch the video and feel some anger at the lack of balance in the felling decision perhaps you might do more than simply like Jeremy's video and dislike the NT video...perhaps you might consider writing to the NT and tell them how unhappy you are about this management approach.

A real shame, I hope they at least use the timber for something!

Unfortunately it's just yet another example of the disregard of the expertise within this profession, by those both holding the purse strings and who make the final management decision.

the national trust video has been pulled from Youtube, fishy

On this occasion it seems that the NT even went against findings of their own sponsored report!

Doesn't everyone when it doesn't suit . Felled loads of category A trees, cos the developer can get another plot and the planning department ignores the Arb survey.

If Jeremy Barrell's assessment of the situation is correct (which I fully expect it is) someone in the National Trust and the Council officer that let the Conservation Area notification through should in my opinion be ashamed of themselves.
