I think there are processional moths/caterpillars in St George's park BS5

Completely stripped a tree of leaves Web types nests

Who do I need to contact/can they do anything?

Thanks

This is part of a vital 4km habitat that Network Rail East Coast plan to destroy (21ft+) from June in nesting season.
This green corridor=habitat for birds, bats & owls.
It breaks their own nature strategy that states no biodiversity loss in 2024

Haringey Tree Protectors Forest School Bristol City Council Woodland Trust🌳 RSPB England Bristol Tree Forum 🍃💚🍃 Danica Priest🍃💚🍃 When mowing in public spaces, please allow new trees space. Damage to bark can cause disease or death to saplings and trees. Look out for young growth. New trees don't always have protective guards. Thank you

Do council officers need to go to Forest School??
Bristol City Council is not doing well on urban ecology it seems. Everywhere councils seem to be falling well behind the progressive ecological knowledge of its citizens Woodland Trust🌳 RSPB England Bristol Tree Forum 🍃💚🍃 Danica Priest🍃💚🍃

Haringey Tree Protectors Forest School Bristol City Council Woodland Trust🌳 RSPB England Bristol Tree Forum 🍃💚🍃 Danica Priest🍃💚🍃 Far too many young trees, even when still in protective tree guards, are mown over or suffer damage to bark. If you notice them like this, perhaps hand weed around for them to be more easily mown around

The cuckoo is a summer visitor that arrives in the UK in late March or April.

They are famously a 'brood parasite', meaning that they lay their eggs in the nests of other birds, fooling other species to raise their young.

Have you heard any calling cuckoos this spring? 👂

SAVE OUR TREES - Well done everyone!

Thank you everyone who came out yesterday to celebrate our Judicial Review victory ✌ WE DID IT! What a great team of people, good to hear Marion read out our press statement and answer questions. Thank you all for your amazing support 🤩

Wellingborough tree group SAVE OUR TREES win at high court! They proved the council acting unlawfully when trying to remove a historic avenue of lime trees! This is a fantastic precedent for tree campaigners everywhere. STRAWPlymouth Bristol Tree Forum 🍃💚🍃 Paul Powlesland Paul Wood 🌳

Full Council off to a hot start with the proposal for the new Lord Mayor by Jos Clark ...something about being qualified to stand?...seemed to be controversial for some reason.

Yesterday Tudor Evans waved through the completely inadequate Terms of Reference for the review into the Armada Way felling.

Incredibly there were zero concerns raised by his colleagues despite it being well and truly not fit for purpose or fair.

When will councils learn ecology? After tree losses on Parkland Walk Haringey Council began cutting back vegetation at Stanhope bridge this week at the height of nesting season. Quelle surprise! to discover a number of nesting wrens in the bushes.Paul Powlesland UK National Wildlife Crime Unit (NWCU)

Plymouth streets were once lined with avenues of trees planted by the Victorians. We look at some of the remaining tree avenues discuss the benefits of tree lined streets with arboriculturist Jonathan Warren and landscape architect Zoe Smith.

'There is no speaking to statements at the AGM, but of course you are welcome to attend. I have spoken to the Lord Mayor who has agreed to extend the deadline on statements until Monday when the reports will be published.'

🧵TOPPING TREES is increasing by Haringey Council tree dept. Here are reasons why it's bad for trees.
🌳Tree Stress & Starvation: Topping removes crucial leaves that trees need for photosynthesis, leading to stress & weakened health @thestreettree Paul Powlesland Mike Hakata

🌳Increased Risk of Disease & Pests: Large wounds from topping are slow to heal, inviting diseases and pests into the tree.
🌳Weak & Rapid Regrowth: Trees respond to topping with weak, fast-growing shoots that require frequent pruning. Woodland Trust🌳 Cllr Alex Worrell 💞 Cllr Luke Cawley-Harrison 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈🔶
