Save the Ashley Down Oak
Bristol, England, United Kingdom
Aim
We aim to save from felling our majestic 120 year old Holm Oak. BCC must provide evidence of the case for felling this well loved tree
This tree is a community asset and if you think about our lives, it is impossible to imagine a World without them. And yet, as more of our City becomes populated the more BCC (& planners) remove our mature urban trees.
Trees have many benefits on our streets and in our lives, Trees
Combat climate change and remove/ store Carbon from the environment.
Improve our health and mental well-being.
Clean to air and remove Pollutants eg. Nitrogen dioxide and particulates.
Provides habitat & food for birds, bats and squirrels, indeed mature Oaks can maintain hundreds of species of invertebrates.
Provide economic benefits, house prices can rise 5-18% when nearby.
Our art, literature and culture is full of references to trees, they are part of our Lives and must remain so.
You can help by viewing us on social media, signing our petition for BCC and giving a tiny amount to help us continue our campaign.
We require funds for:
Printing or flyers/ posters
Timber / building gear
Climbing kit
