According to the Woodland Trust the Uk’s trees are facing unprecedented pressures from development, disease and climate change. They also risk being neglected, undervalued and forgotten.

“The charter will be rooted in individuals stories and memories it will provide guidance and inspiration to shape government police and will seek to enlist charter champions who will inspire and raly communities to stand up for trees and woodlands” according to the The Woodland Trust.

Patrick Cregg, Director of the Woodland Trust in Northern Ireland said: “Our collective aim is for a charter that puts tress back at the heart of our lives and communities, and at the centre of decision making. And we are kicking the campaign off by asking local people to share their tree stories and memories so that we can truly recognise the importance of trees to society.”

According to the Trust society and government needs to stop taking trees fro granted and recognise their huge contribution to peoples lives.
