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

Many areas of Gloucester (not a million miles from you) were badly

for more planting.
Hi Justin - Yes, Gloucester was one of the places I saw it last year. I
am, indeed, not a million miles away, more like twenty, yet there's not
much sign of it here (yet). I suppose in rural areas the Chestnuts are
fewer and further between. (How did Pseudomonas spread so far and,
apparently, so quickly, by the way?)
This forum is an amazing source of information about all sorts of
things, not the least of which is the distribution and frequency of
pests, diseases & other dysfunction amongst our tree population. I
wonder if it couldn't be harnessed, feeding back to (say) Forest
Research - I can't help but think they'd have a much better idea of
what's going on where if they didn't rely solely on the number of
queries they get from the public. Especially given the apparent demise
of the Survey of Non-Woodland Trees.
