A “robust and effective system” of protections should be developed as part of an action plan to secure the future of some of England’s most important trees, according to a new report from The Tree Council and Forest Research.

The Tree Council, the national charity that brings everyone together for the love of trees, and Forest Research, assessed the existing protections and systems in place to secure the future of some of the country’s most important trees – those deemed “irreplaceable”, and providing exceptionally high social, cultural and environmental value.

The subsequent report, Protecting trees of high social, cultural and environmental value, reveals they are only indirectly protected, with some “significant legal gaps”, and recommends the development of a “robust and effective system” to ensure they are safeguarded.
