New tree in the planter near Chester isn't quite giving the same amount of shade. 🤔 In fact, looks like it won't survive much longer. Newly planted trees have nothing on our established, mature ones. 🌳❤ #HeatWave #Shade #CanopyCover #SaveChester

So lovely to see a little girl with her mum earlier taking time to read everyone's messages around Chester's trunk. And hear her saying "Bye Chester!" after spending a little time under this often overlooked tree.🥰 Children know what's important.🌳❤ #SaveChester #NoticeThisTree

This is the same Aviva pursuing the felling of our beloved 170+ year old oak tree Old King George and nearby horsechestnut, via our town council... Rather than underpinning two houses (which experts have recommended). Operating profit of £2,203m, up 25%. At what cost to nature?

For anyone who has walked past and admired Chester's bark patterns, they are more than just aesthetic....

London plane tree bark not only absorbs pollutants from the air to help clear it, but also sheds often, meaning that London planes can remain healthy and resilient for many decades. 😊👍🏻 Gimme the plane truth | New Scientist share.google/4Juv87uz6f511lq… 🌳❤ #SaveChester #Southend

Good news on the TPO decision. 😊 But Chester is not yet saved, sadly. We continue the campaign against potentially threats from Highways and development to ensure this wonderful tree is retained. Thank you for all your support. 🙏🏻🌳❤ #SaveChester #Southend #SaveOurTrees #Essex

Today is National Hug Day, so why not get out and give your local street tree a cuddle? Some have called us tree huggers in the past - but they're not wrong!

Great to see pavements made safe and accessible in this way. Good work @SouthendCityC Also great to see Cllr Daniel Cowan recognise our city's trees as 'historic'. 😊👍🏻 They certainly are...let's value and protect them. 🌳❤ #SaveChester #SaveOurTrees #Southend @canopyorguk

So depressing to see the removal of many healthy mature trees in town today. 💔 If @SouthendCityC are serious about meeting canopy cover, they need to look at ways to incorporate mature trees into development.The more trees we loose, the more vital it is to hold onto any we can.

Owners of Wivenhoe property hit by subsidence don't think tree should be felled

Property owners in Wivenhoe say reports by an insurer proof an ancient oak should not be felled.

Today the front page of the Gazette leads with the story from one of the families affected by the ongoing movement issues near our trees, who say they 'don't want to see the trees chopped' and who, like us, think underpinning will be the best solution.
