Redwood to be felled

Simon | 15.09.2006 21:19 | Ecology | South Coast

Apparently a Sequoiadendron gigantica will be felled on the 16th September 2006 in Steyning, West Sussex.


i am trying to save this tree (i know it's late in the day - i only found out about the plan on sunday)

it has had a tpo on it, the felling was blocked by Horsham Dist. council, an appeal was successful to the secretary of state in May and now it will be felled.

any ideas to save it? any support?

we need all we can.

please contact me if you can help,

My name is Simon Zec and you can email me or ring me on 07941 622442

thanks

Simon

You could climb up it if you have a couple of years:

You could just leave a notice claiming it had been spiked.

If it is an old, notable or ancient tree then these people might help - you can guess the age by measuring the girth:
