I really admire the exuberant re-growth of the felled London Plane Trees at Euston. It’s a perfect way for nature to say f*ck you to the gratuitous ecological destruction wrought by HS2 in the area.

'The science of relationships is called ecology, but what we call it matters nothing. The real question is, do our citizens know they are only a cog in an ecological mechanism?' ~Aldo Leopold (A Sand County Almanac, 1949) #thicktrunktuesday #forests

Why do we only protect trees when they become profitable? This tree would never have become a precious art exhibit if Banksy hadn't drawn attention to it.

Climate weather chaos, a heatwave, then very cold spring playing havoc with our trees, with knock on effects for leaf canopy-fruit and food for other species. We need a system change on the way trees are managed as they fight these pressures on their life systems. Adam Cormack

Tree canopy keeps people healthy. Yet insurers continue to pressure tree depts into chopping large trees right back. It's a vicious cycle and needs a big change. Trees also will defend against flash floods so insurers need to look long term about their tactics. ABI

On #EarthDay2024 let us remember all the trees that need protecting in 2024 and keep our efforts up.

What in hell's teeth is this?
Let me answer, it's a metaphor for our time and the waste we lay to nature that's what it is!
Just imagine you're trying to nest/mate/ protect your eggs while a chainsaw was going off in your bedroom/house?🤬

Aviation contributes to 4% of global warming despite being just 2.5% of CO₂ emissions.

It's crucial we challenge the growth in flying and choose other ways to travel.

Remember, in nesting season it's illegal to work on trees with live nests. Last year we stopped men cutting an oak tree containing a crow's nest. Reported it to wildlife police who followed it up. CALL police 101 or 999 if ongoing. UK National Wildlife Crime Unit (NWCU) RSPB England Chris Packham
