One of the UK’s Most Well Respected Arboricultural Expert Jeremy Barrell Statement

I attended the ICF Trees, People and the Built Environment international conference last week in Birmingham (http://www.charteredforesters.org/…/icf-trees-people-built…/), attended by about 250 delegates from the UK and many other countries. This is one of the highest profile international tree research conferences, with a worldwide following. I thought you might like to know that the mismanagement being orchestrated by Sheffield City Council and the dubious professional behaviour of Amey was mentioned multiple times on both days, both from the speakers and from the delegates, and none of it was positive. The tree world is alive to the natural asset stripping that is occurring in Sheffield; what can be done about it is another matter, but it is not going unoticed.
