Ban the removal or felling of ancient trees

Ban the removal or felling of ancient trees — 151 signatures. Status: open.

Petition background

We would like the Government to ban the removal or felling of all ancient trees. We believe these trees are valuable and precious and we need them now and for future generations. Therefore, they should have full legal protections.

Additional details

We call for the Government to protect all ancient trees on all categories of land as we believe we cannot afford to lose them. Under new rules, these trees would be protected from felling or removal for the rest of their lives. We are particularly concerned about protecting ancient oak trees.
