News from the trees

The new edition of Tree News is out and I was lucky enough to receive a complementary copy from the editor John May. If you have any appreciation of trees this magazine is a must.
I was taken with the discussion on what the tree cover in Europe was really like in times gone by - the self-appointed "chainsaw conservationists" on the South Downs in Sussex are obviously keen to prevent anything but grass growing, leaving tree stumps in their wake.
