From john at lawton.me.uk Wed Dec 1 17:19:13 2010 From: john at lawton.me.uk (John Lawton) Date: Wed, 01 Dec 2010 17:19:13 +0000 Subject: [Announce] BBC article: "Take cover by saving urban trees" Message-ID: <20101201171913.12385rtj4ndyfysc@www.lawton.me.uk> This is a good read, including the comments: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/7271725.stm John Lawton SOS Chair From pale.aquamarine at googlemail.com Wed Dec 1 17:56:39 2010 From: pale.aquamarine at googlemail.com (Lisa Buchholz) Date: Wed, 1 Dec 2010 17:56:39 +0000 Subject: [Announce] [Discuss] BBC article: "Take cover by saving urban trees" In-Reply-To: <20101201171913.12385rtj4ndyfysc@www.lawton.me.uk> References: <20101201171913.12385rtj4ndyfysc@www.lawton.me.uk> Message-ID: So topical! So how come we can't get all these tree-choppers to understand it's not what we want?? Even the environment secretary seems to get it: There was an article (which you can't look at free online, unfortunately) by the Sunday Times's Environmental Editor about a new program for "a million trees to be planted in Britain's most deprived urban areas". Funding is ? 9 m, administered by Defra, with Woodland Trust (which is already doing this I think) planting a lot of them. "With just 12% native woodland cover, compared to the European average of 44%, every one of us is impoverished by a lack of trees in our landscape. As individuals, groups and communities we can each take action to improve where we live and contribute to a bigger vision" - Woodland Trust.
