The Woodland Trust in collaboration with country Living Magazine have launched a campaign for government to set up a National Register for Trees of Special Interest e.g. ancient, veteran & notable trees. One example of having a such a register is the possiblity that owners of these important trees might be able to access Heritage Lottery Grant funding for essentail management works. There are many other good reasons for having such a register. For further details and to sign up to the campaign, please follow the link below.
