    “To me they are as important as any ancient monuments. There has to be a protection put in place. > At 1000 years old, they are ancient monuments.

      You can get tree protection orders for single or groups of trees. I have a feeling you can make an application to get them protected without them being on your land.

    I’m really hoping that the gap tree felling leads to more of an outcry and legislation against this sort of thing. In ancient Briton, trees were sacred. It’s high time we brought some of that mindset back.
