SHAFT Trees

We are Sheffield Action For Trees. Our aim is to educate and halt the unnecessary felling of Sheffields mature street trees and preserve its urban forest.

This is the marvellous Vernon Oak in all his Autumn finery but despite independent arb advice to keep Sheffield council will be felling

[Vernon Oak @SAVEDORETREES]

A very, very sad day on Chatsworth Road,. The Duchess being loaded for her final journey.

@BBCPM and of course Sheffield continues to strip its city of pollution busting mature trees, how can they continue to justify this given the city's poor air quality? @CleanAirSheff @SheffCouncil

[Friends of the Botanical Gardens, Sheffield @FOBSheffield]

Amey about to fell healthy trees from historic lime avenue on southern approach to Botanical Gardens

[Alison Teal 🍃💚🍃 @alisonclareteal]

This is one scene of several acts of brutality on Sheffield residential streets today. A person tried to protect a tree from felling and was tackled to the ground and restrained. @SheffCouncil & @Ameyplc are sanctioning these tactics to fell mostly healthy trees. What next?

[SHAFT Trees @SHAFTtrees]

This is down right vindictive. This is no longer about SCC wanting to improve our roads, this is a bully showing us who is in control. #shameful #underhand #corporate #greed https://t.co/Bf63SasDIT

@LydiaMonks Woken at 5am by frantic voice mail and angry texts. Abbeydale Park Rise butchered at dawn by Sheffield Council and Amey. Those trees literally save lives, raising money for St Luke's Hospice. Sad. Everyone in the city relies on that hospice. This is a game changer...😡

@SheffCouncil Manchester embracing tree charter whilst Sheffield destroys our green city

[SHAFT Trees @SHAFTtrees]

@BBCBreakfast perhaps @SheffCouncil needs to take on-board the @WoodlandTrust treecharter and stop felling city trees

PRIVATE EYE "Vernon the healthy 150 year old oak being felled with 18,000 other trees 'damaging' roads & paths." #Sheffield #SaveSheffTrees

[Timewalk Project @Timewalkproject]

@KeaneMJ @SAVEDORETREES @DuchessLime @LaviniaLime @StagNews2017 @TheSadSquirrel Or the Limes in Rivelin Valley or the possible damage to property now so many trees are gone from streets & full force of wind hits properties.

[SHAFT Trees @SHAFTtrees]

Foresight of Victorian industrialist saw planting of trees to help their future generations, finally maturing only to be felled

@kid_acne @Ameyplc @SheffCouncil And Vernon, the magnificent 150 yr old oak tree in Dore. We #StandwithVernon & look at today's vigil and art celebration #SaveSheffTrees

Love for Vernon

[SHAFT Trees @SHAFTtrees]

@kevorkath24 @IanTreeDalton @SheffCouncil @Ameyplc That tree was in a field long before the street, the houses, the cars.......

[SHAFT Trees @SHAFTtrees]

One small sampling will not replace all the good this might oak does for its community @CleanAirSheff @UrbanForestryUK #SaveVernonOak

[Sarah D 🌱 📚🐝🦉🌳 @raringtoread]

We all #StandwithVernon. @SAVEDORETREES @vernonkay @salthepoet @jonsnowC4 @OwenJones84 @RichardHawley #SaveSheffTrees #sheffieldissuper

[SHAFT Trees @SHAFTtrees]

lunacy of @SheffCouncil tree felling to improve road for cars, cars causing poor air quality, yet these very trees improve air quality? Mad

[SHAFT Trees @SHAFTtrees]

#SaveVernonOak to be felled tomorrow. Irreplaceable mature oak was here long before the streets cars and homes. Leave him be @SheffCouncil

[SHAFT Trees @SHAFTtrees]

Vigil for @SAVEDORETREES tonight. What will it take for @SheffCouncil to see the damage their felling policy is doing to our great city
