Bristol Street Trees - BBC Green Room Article

// March 10th, 2008
admin tagged this with BBC Green Room Article

Introduction

Following the recent news item on the BBC website about the death of the urban tree, the response was so overwhelming the BBC moderator had to suspend the blog after just 24 hours so many people didn’t have a chance to have their say. We have extracted many of the comments about street trees and put them in different themes. This will enable you to comment on a comment rather than the original article.

The themes in order are:

  • the benefits of urban trees
  • the health and safety / legal issues
  • is it down to cost ?
  • agreement with the article from around the UK (and wider)
  • getting the right species
  • the case in defence of the council arboriculturists
  • international experience

      In this day and age of climate change it has become extremely important to preserve as much of the urban landscape as possible. Not only for its cultural heritage but for the next generation to enjoy. It’s become a sort of ‘world’ trend and not just the UK where trees are dying due to radical whether patterns and industry clearing, we can only hope that the current damage is revisable.
