I am Chris Wade from North Dalton Parish Council

Why hasn't NALC sent this Consultation to members or have I missed it?

Hi Sue we're working with our Tree Charter colleagues on a response

Had the same thought, we have missed this too, and too late for the parish council to respond now, with a deadline on Friday, will send to individual members to reply directly

what should we plant instead of Ash Trees?

Forest for Cornwall project will still only deliver 2% tree cover. We need to up our game!

Hi Sue and Teresa, this information was in our monthly tree charter newsletter

is there any assistance available for planting completely new woodland. we have trees from WT arriving Nov. Advice/help would be appreciated

How can we work with Highways to plant trees along minor roads - the feedback my council has had from Surrey Highways has a number of restrictions to planting alongside rural roads

please may we have a copy of the presentation for our local tree wardens

Yes a copy would be really useful.

How can the local councils work with private wood owners to ensure education in managing small woodlands and eradicating evasive species safely

Do you have any thoughts about trees in private gardens? I see people felling trees in their gardens all the time (and getting rid of hedges to replace them with wooden fences). is there any way to provide support and advice to householders to prevent this?

Of course Carol, we'll be sharing slides, links, chat & feedback form in our post event email

Q- The main issue that is raised within our Parish Council when discussing planting new trees, is the cost in the future of maintaining and looking after them. Is this an issue others are facing, and how are you overcoming this? Thanks

Hi I'm quite interested in the Miyawaki forestation method of planting some tiny forests in Frome has anyone had any experience of doing something like this in the uk.

Our local Council allowed the felling of 3 Trees by a private individual in a Conservation Area with no local consultation. Is this permissible?

Ken Saunders Cllr Highworth Town Council, Chair of Pentylands country Park team leader for Woodland trust at Stratton Woods Swindon. Looking to plant 10,000 trees in Pentylands Country Park this winter.

Is there a minimum spec for planting trees in public areas in towns? Many of the smaller specimens we planted were vandalise; and the largest specimen trees didn't flourish.

We have about 2 ha of land that we might want to plant woodland on all or part of it. How can we get advice on the benefit/area and costs of planting and ongoing maintenance?

I am a volunteer working with parish councils and other groups to create the new Somerset Wood and Country Park. The Wood will cover 23 acres and comprise 11,281 trees to be planted over several years. The number was chosen to match the number of names listed in the Somerset Book of honour to record every Somerset man and woman who lost their life in the Great War. The site is now a designated Country Park and plans are in place to develop it's uses for walkers and runners, as well as a hub for information and diverse recreation and the appreciation and knowledge of trees

Skirlaugh Parish Council. Wehave a young wood, approx. 2-3 acres. Oldest planted trees 10yrs. Planting still being done. Need advice re opening to the public, encouraging wildlife and the possible planting of flowering shrubs also.

We are about to adopt about 3 hectares of land and part of this area is for tree planting. How can we get help and advice about what to plant?

Is the Woodland Trust working with Friends of the Earth who contacted me in my other capacity as the Volunteer Environment Officer on Nansledan. With Colan Parish Neighbourhood Plan I want to bring together all the relevant stakeholders.

What is classed as an ancient tree please.

We have several areas of a Country Park which we are considering developing into deciduous woodland. What are the Woodland Trust's thoughts on 'rewilding/wilding' vs tree planting?

another project is for caring and restoring an old closed cemetery. How can we tap into advice for caring for the ancient trees and those that are needed for support of insects birds etc

We are planting 420 trees in a field in 2021 - what is the best way to plan for future maintenance costs for this. Any other advice is much appreciated.

Where can a small cash strapped parish council get trees from?

What would you recommend for the control of grey squirrel damage on mature trees

We are developing our Neighbourhood Plan. What should we put in it for trees? Cllr Robert Oates - Robert.oates@sleaford.gov.uk.

Have you identified any ash dieback resistant cultivars

Question PWTC manages its own Nature Reserve Foal Hurst Wood but has had a recent problem with Lockdown, Wild camping has generated litter and rubbish and damage ( campfires) to the woodland. What can we do to reduce his activity?

was that Tdag?

Trees in Design Action Group

tpos are the way to protect garden and park trees

can hedgerows have a TPO as well as trees

Hi, I carry out landscape and tree work for private residents. a.

Here's the link to the NALC Tree Charter webpage including the Charter, toolkit, becoming a charter branch, newsletters and other resources www.nalc.gov.uk/our-work/treecharter

Do you have any basic information on the value of trees, carbon capture, oxygen release, etc that can be fed into the community.

we need to teach our children as they will be responsible for the environment one day. My other job involves field teaching which includes this.

The more you plant the more a tree survey costs every 3 years and the more work is required - very expensive.

any advice for woodland management we have a small area of maturing woodland and thinking about the furure

what is a tiny forest?

Hi, The biggest cost for us with street trees (Larger trees) is the watering for the following 5 years of planting which is often more costly than the cost of planting the tree, which needs to be considered. I really like the idea of getting the local community to help water them though.

I think it was mentioned in a recent issue of The Clerk

The tress were on a verge

what are the requirements of a TPO?

TPOs only useful for fairly "special" trees though? just ordinary trees in people's gardens don't get such protections

We had a large tree fall on one of our fields last summer. We made sure it was safe and secure and the kids loved playing on it over the summer. We left it there for a few months prior to removing.

If the three trees were in a Conservation Area they still would need to apply to the L A to fell these and then the application should be sent to neighbours and the Parish Council for comments

we have had some trees damaged by young people constructing an impromptu mountain bike track during lockdown. Balance of enjoyment, entertainment , youth engagement and tree care. During lockdown....

above is guide to tpos from you gov

2500 trees per hectare

We would love to hear your feedback from this event! Please do fill in this survey: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/BGQ6XD6

is there any detriment to dogs having access to new woodland apart from the obvious not being allowed to damage saplings.

It was also mentioned earlier about Woodland Creation Volunteers who could come out and do a site visit to help determine appropriate sites and species?

How can we find out for an area what the canopy cover is?

I had our community wood thined h

is that the same as an ancient woodland ?

it was there from 1600

I think you can carry out an I-Tree Canopy report to work out the canopy cover

Could you include a link to what should be in a neighbourhood plan please? Thank you

Increased Co2, higher temps eff are stressing some species and altering the grower

Thank you WT and NALc

Our council works hard to try to stay rural, to encourage trees. But what can we do if TPOs We are fighting against the loss of our rural countryside, but we are suppo are not respected? When we complained, and after many months of keeping the matter alive, we were told that the way the trees were recorded was wrong and it was a mistake that the developer took the TPO tree away.

Thanks

Thank you
