The British Isles are sort of fascinating, it was once almost entirely covered in forest and considering the climate it must’ve been Europe’s own temperate rainforest. Some people in Scotland are restoring a bit of that in the Highlands..

I agree it is the councils’ responsibility (plus Big Agri-interests) that destroy the trees, most of the times at least..

Keeping the old trees alive and reforesting areas (doing it wild, not trees in lines LOL) would be great. That way humans will have more protection from floods and in the towns also have more bearable temperatures in hot summer. Good for the elderly also! Big trees are really good for everyone..
