TREES: THE KEY TO CLIMATE PROOFING OUR CITIES- London, 10th July 2008.
A 10% increase in urban tree cover could neutralise rising city
temperatures, but large trees with irreplaceable climate-control benefits
are being lost at an alarming rate. This pioneering conference explores
practical possibilities to reverse tree loss within current planning
framework. It can be done: our objective is to define how to do it. FINAL

Good point, if he does it all on LEDs (plenty of outdoor stuff in the
catalogues) it can work on much less power, maybe even 12V, so maybe less
intrusive lighting and muc less excavation.
Indeed, if eh does 12V, he can run a fair bit of it off solar. My brother
lives in deepest Kenya and all his power is 12V from solar.
Much less carbon footprint.

I've got a little Petzl LED headlight that is absolutely brilliant for
peering in the darkest recesses of my office and car and cellar or reading
the QJF
in bed with minimal disturbance for my partner.... I recommend he gets some
of these and fastens them round his leg before setting off round the wood.
They're not particularly cheap; 20 quid or so in Decathlon, but they'll be
cheaper than his bollards and associated root-wreckin-plumbing!
Think laterally.
