Very sad to see trees destroyed for no reason. Something wrong with the person responsible. Or a dangerous fuckwit.

Nearly as bad as the HS2 destruction of trees ...

not only have they chopped down the Cubbington Pear (200 yrs old), several century old oaks have also been felled, they are now trying to fell part of "Dahl's Wood" ...

HS2: Arrests as 'Roald Dahl wood' felling starts - BBC News

there's a "developer" also razing woodland and then hoping to build more houses, as well.
(can't find that story atm)

Let's hope they make this horrible shit plant them all back again.

Good and quite detailed Guardian article (from Thursday) about how (correctly) pissed off Weybridge locals have been, about this dreadful life-destruction

Searches carried out in the suspect’s car and home address found several chainsaws and wood chippings. The man was arrested and remains in custody.”

Outstanding detective work... it does make you think that this sort of senseless and random crime of wanton destruction could be the thin end of the wedge.

Let's hope they make this horrible shit plant them all back again.

And tend them for the next 40 years. And if any saplings die he can plant and tend some others

Clearly a lot going on there.
