This is not a joke. In these times, we are unbelievably seeing a proposal for a quarry extension into 50+ hectares of #AncientWoodland. That's about 70 football pitches of precious habitat. Mind-boggling that @Kent_cc is even considering this.
Please take the time to object!

This one really hits me. I visited the felled tree yday and saw its severed limbs lying around. A healthy ancient oak with wonderful veteran features. Calling ancient trees dead and felling them for 'safety reasons' is just wildly unacceptable. You should be ashamed @tobycarvery
Amazing work gang and big kudos to @Adele_R_B for driving this campaign forward to reach this crucial milestone! Time to secure that heritage status for trees 🌳🌲

Always good to get out to @WoodlandTrust’s #AshenbankWood site. This time recording for the Woodlands Walks podcast with @AdamShawBiz and Clive to talk Woods Under Threat and the #LowerThamesCrossing
If you’d like to find out more about the damaging Lower Thames Crossing scheme (massively impactful for climate and nature) visit our website: woodlandtrust.org.uk/campaig…
The Norwich Western Link Road would be disastrous for Norfolk’s wildlife - dozens of veteran trees are at risk of loss, among many other important habitats. Please take the @NorfolkWT action supported by @WoodlandTrust! action.wildlifetrusts.org/pa…

Destruction of a precious ancient bluebell woodland in the Kent countryside under a deluge of illegal landfill waste shows the utter failure of environmental law, complete inaction by the authorities & increasing lawlessness in the UK. Let me tell you the story of Hoads Wood 🧵
Loved helping to organise this brilliant event bringing light to the devastating impact that @ShropCouncil's North West Relief Road would have on veteran trees in Shrewsbury. Protect the #DarwinOak, sign the petition: change.org/p/save-the-darwin…

Britain's ancient and special trees have negligible public protection or rights. Please sign this petition if you feel that should change.
It takes centuries to grow a tree, and only moments for someone to fell it.

Thank you

The outpouring of grief, sadness & anger about the felling of Sycamore Gap Tree shows the strength of love & care many British people feel for our trees. Here’s why we should change the law to give ancient & veteran trees the same protection as historic buildings & monuments 🧵
A new day, but the strength of feeling remains following the cruel felling of the #SycamoreGap tree. I hope we're all still ticked off about this?
If you need somewhere to channel your feelings, sign our petition below.
Let's create a legacy from this heartbreaking moment.

Thank you to Adrian Chiles and @bbc5live for having me on for @WoodlandTrust. I thought @RobGMacfarlane was amazing. So eloquent and thoughtful. Brought a tear to my eye before having to speak myself.
Still feel sick about the situation. Pure disbelief.
Adrian Chiles talking about this now with @RobGMacfarlane & @jacktaywer

Officers have condemned the vandalism of an iconic #Northumberland tree and vowed to bring anyone responsible to justice.
A full investigation has been launched after the Sycamore Gap Tree was felled overnight in what police believe to be a deliberate act of vandalism. (1/3)
