'On National Love a Tree Day, the spotlight lands on those quiet giants that make neighborhoods more livable, landscapes more resilient, and everyday life a little calmer.'
Thanks Chester! 😊💕🌳❤

So lovely to see a little girl with her mum earlier taking time to read everyone's messages around Chester's trunk. And hear her saying "Bye Chester!" after spending a little time under this often overlooked tree.🥰

This is the same Aviva pursuing the felling of our beloved 170+ year old oak tree Old King George and nearby horsechestnut, via our town council... Rather than underpinning two houses (which experts have recommended). Operating profit of £2,203m, up 25%. At what cost to nature?

London plane tree bark not only absorbs pollutants from the air to help clear it, but also sheds often, meaning that London planes can remain healthy and resilient for many decades. 😊👍🏻

For anyone who has walked past and admired Chester's bark patterns, they are more than just aesthetic....

@thetreehunter @toryparty 👏🏻😊 Amazing news!!! 🌳💚

[SaveChesterSouthend @ChesterPlane]

Good news on the TPO decision. 😊 But Chester is not yet saved, sadly. We continue the campaign against potentially threats from Highways and development to ensure this wonderful tree is retained. Thank you for all your support. 🙏🏻🌳❤

Today is National Hug Day, so why not get out and give your local street tree a cuddle? Some have called us tree huggers in the past - but they're not wrong!

Great to see pavements made safe and accessible in this way. Good work @SouthendCityC Also great to see Cllr Daniel Cowan recognise our city's trees as 'historic'. 😊👍🏻 They certainly are...let's value and protect them.

So depressing to see the removal of many healthy mature trees in town today. 💔 If @SouthendCityC are serious about meeting canopy cover, they need to look at ways to incorporate mature trees into development.The more trees we loose, the more vital it is to hold onto any we can.

Even a Guardian Long Read couldn’t include all twists & turns of the Sheffield Tree Saga (particularly some legal stuff), but this is a great intro. Many of the environmental, political & legal lessons of this vital campaign have still not been learnt https://t.co/lz7iKngIl4
