So, on yer bikes, see you on 17th November, 4pm, at Belvoir Hill, near Greens Windmill to join us for a lovely bikeride with music..

Guerilla Foresting in the hood

20-10-2007 16:37 | Climate Chaos | Ecology | Health | Nottinghamshire

milliona of mature & semi-mature trees die in the UK alone every year due to ivy starving the trunk of light. When ivy reaches the top of a tree or its crown, it usually dies & often falls over which is a serious health & safety risk.
Simply cutting the ivy off at the bottom with small pruning saw which takes minutes or less, saves the tree+local wildlife & helps stop climate change.
I saved 5 trees in less than 5 minutes today near woodborough park sherwood, you can save hundreds in a hour or so.
Be a Guerilla Forester,like Mr Hood!
