@treeruss @syonist @tobycarvery Curiouser and curiouser. I’m surprised more people aren’t following this thread considering the publicity the felling of the #Whitewebbs #Oak has been getting.

[Susan Lowenthal @SusanLowenthal]

@treeruss So pretty dodgy then.

[Susan Lowenthal @SusanLowenthal]

@treeruss Who did the tree survey? Surely all trees with roots likely to be within the boundary should be included?

The Labour government must follow this ruling. #environment #pollution #human_right_to_life

[ClientEarth @ClientEarth]

🧡@ECHR_CEDH has ruled for the first time that country's governments failng to properly address environmental pollution is a violation of the human right to life.

This is hugely important for existing and future environmental human rights cases 👉 https://t.co/RRJgs6JgdS

@CMOGeography @DanRavenEllison Have you spoken to the Landscape Institute @talklandscape ?

@paulpowlesland @gujabano @JustPlaneNews @WembleyMatters @BrendMcfadden @AdamCormack_ @STRAWPlymouth @TheStreetTree @ChrisGPackham And the loss of canopy which provides shade, ability to absorb rainwater which helps to prevent flooding, wellbeing to those people viewing & walking near them, economic benefits to neighbourhoods and so on #tree_loss

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

A new studies finds that tree bark removes methane from the atmosphere, making trees 10% even more better for climate than we previously thought!

@cycleoptic @CycleIslington @HSscorecard @RowChampion @IslingtonBC @hackneycouncil Wasn’t exactly busy mid-afternoon but @TfL seemed happy to listen to me. I got the impression they agreed improvements were needed & that - unsurprisingly - the critical link under the bridges to #FinsburyPark was difficult…

[Susan Lowenthal @SusanLowenthal]

Things certainly don’t seem to be getting better here in #FinsburyPark … @garyheatherFJ @N4NPForum @FinsParkFriends @MPSFinsburyPark #crime #litter

[Finsbury Park Resident @SweetTw08375560]

@IslingtonBC @jeremycorbyn @MPSFinsburyPark - us residents of Yonge Park and surrounding roads have been complaining forever about the crime and general state of our area. When are actually going to do something?

@howarthm I did see it but 🙄😂 anyway!

[Susan Lowenthal @SusanLowenthal]

@islingt_swifts @cycleoptic @YorksWildlife @leanahosea Just seen 4 #swifts - between Finsbury Park & Hollloway

[Susan Lowenthal @SusanLowenthal]

Unless there’s a real risk of trees falling on the tracks, railway vegetation - valuable connectivity Green Infrastructure & habitat - must be retained @N4NPForum @Friends_of_PW

[Healthy Streets Stroud Green @N4Area]

Such a vital green corridor! It makes a huge difference to the richness of the bird life in Finsbury Park! Especially the Mistle and song - surely they could look at options to mitigate risk of felling trees not a blanket chop? @HarringayBirder @FinsParkFriends

[Susan Lowenthal @SusanLowenthal]

Feeling your pain here in FinsburyPark @FinsParkFriends

[Rebecca Tamás @RebTamas]

Today I'm in @guardianopinion writing on this VERY environmental issue - the unequal privatisation of Britain's urban parks for festivals!

We must fight new enclosures if we want the next generation to love & protect nature! Save green spaces now.🌿

[Susan Lowenthal @SusanLowenthal]

@JohnPeg83296785 @seasylvia2005 @JeremyDBarrell Or more likely no-one. Then they replant after a year & go away. It’s cheaper than maintaining/watering them. And wrong.
