Open Ban the removal or felling of ancient trees

Created by Mark Adams
Closes on

We would like the Government to ban the removal or felling of all ancient trees. We believe these trees are valuable and precious and we need them now and for future generations. Therefore, they should have full legal protections.

We call for the Government to protect all ancient trees on all categories of land as we believe we cannot afford to lose them. Under new rules, these trees would be protected from felling or removal for the rest of their lives. We are particularly concerned about protecting ancient oak trees.
