Do respond and share if you are a tree professional, ecologist, planner, forester, or something in-between.

Thanks to Paul Melarange of @think_trees for assisting us today by helping to work on this Ash along with our lead climber Loren carrying out deadwood removal, end weight pruning & installation of cobra bracing to reduce the risk of future failure. #Langham #Essex

Roots are an often-forgotten part of a tree. They are shallower and extend further than commonly thought. A root protection area (15 x truck diameter) will prevent root and soil damage.

Say it every year but please please try and do this if you have a cat. I’ve had several bats in the past few weeks and many have not have a good outcome!
Very sad to see images like these. If you are a cat owner please keep your cat indoors at night or bring it in half an hour before sunset and keep it in for an hour after sunset from June-August. If you know someone who has a cat please RT. More info: bats.org.uk/about-bats/threa…
Finally some blue sky after a day and a half of surveying trees in the rain and drizzle. I'm extremely fortunate to work in some fabulous locations with such amazing ancient and other veteran #trees #Newforest #Hampshire
Planting trees is a great thing to do, but they have to be in the right place and for the right reasons. Open grown trees are very important for biodiversity. Planting lots of whips (young trees) at 1.5m spacings, then leaving them is a bad idea.

Race directors...think of all the race tops with 2020 printed on that will end up in landfill due to cancellations☹️
An amazingly simple way to resolve this - remove the date from your race tops. Then add the @treesnottees option and you’ll have to order fewer every year...🌲🌲

Day 4 #30DaysWild In awe of hawthorn! Fab 2 see so much of it exploding with blossom. Supports 300+ insects. Super important nectar & pollen source. Sign spring is turning into summer! Things are a bit slower up in 🏴! Buzzing with St Marks/hawthorn flies, bees & hoverflies 🦟🐝

Dead trees are great. They are home to thousands of species of fungi, insects, spiders, birds, bats.
Well done @hackneycouncil

I used to love colouring in when I was a child. So I have come up with these, which are based on the accurate Botanical Illustrations I made of fruit.

Giant redwood introduced to Britain in 1853 so 200 years old is quite an exaggeration, but a sad story none the less! @ArbAssociation #trees #conservation #planning bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-4638…
