THANK YOU to everyone who came to show support for STAG’s tree march on Saturday. What an amazing day of hope and solidarity! :) Here’s a clip of the ITV news from the day: http://www.itv.com/news/calendar/update/2015-11-14/hundreds-march-against-sheffield-tree-felling/ STAG has also launched a website with lots of information and FAQ: http://www.savesheffieldtrees.org.uk/ Toddla T is also supporting our campaign here: https://www.facebook.com/toddlat/videos/10153859458009388/?pnref=story 6 months down the line and the Rustlings Road trees are still here! We are still demanding the same things: 1. A halt to felling until an acceptable tree strategy is in place. 2. Relaxation of pavement specifications to allow the safe retention of trees on tree-lined streets. 3. Valuation of the ecosystem services that large crowned trees provide. Where i-Tree or CAVAT software have been used in London, Edinburgh, Torbay, Bristol – these services amount to millions of pounds each year! 4. The SUSTAINABLE management of Sheffield’s urban forest, in accordance with The UK Forestry Standard. 5. Proportionate and REASONABLE actions, in accordance with good practice industry guidance and recommendations. Please copy and paste this list, keep it somewhere safe and learn it by heart. If you find yourself on radio or TV talking about YOUR trees – you’ll know what to say! Thank you for all your continued help and support in the myriad of practical and creative ways it is being offered to the trees of Sheffield. It is all seen. It is all appreciated. AFOOFA!
