‘Each tree is a world within itself, teeming with life.’ The UK’s charter for trees takes root
A charter that forms guiding principles for the protection and regeneration of the UK’s woodlands has attracted more than 130,000 signatures since its launch in November 2017.
“A tree may be a village’s oldest inhabitant, a founding figure in a region’s identity, a natural monument in the nation’s story.”
This quote is from the Charter for Trees, Woods and People, which was launched at Lincoln Cathedral on 6 November 2017, the 800th anniversary of the 1217 Charter of the Forest. Launched by the Woodland Trust with the support of more than 40 other organisations, it is hoped the document will become a focus for campaigning around better protection of the UK’s trees.
