Tree of the year runner up - Rare Elm to be felled in Sheffield
Nominator of the tree Paul Selby says:
Today Sheffield Council have finally released the Independent Tree Panel advice and their final decision on the Chelsea Road elm tree. Despite three meetings I had with them, which were headed in the right direction, they've still made the decision to fell.
The fact it is a very rare tree host to a rare Biodiversity Action Plan butterfly species doesn't matter to them.
Shame on Sheffield Council

Patrick Barkham wrote in the Guardian of this rare Elm tree
and
BBC reported on this important tree
Roger Deakin, author of the immortal Waterlog and Wildwood, was a man of unusually many parts. A born writer who nonetheless took decades to write his first book, Roger was also variously - and sometimes simultaneously - maverick ad-man, seller of stripped pine furniture on the Portobello Road, cider-maker, teacher, environmentalist, music promoter, and filmmaker. But above all he was the restorer of ancient Walnut Tree Farm in Suffolk, the heartland which he shared with a host of visitors, both animal and human, and wrote about - as he wrote about all natural life - with rare attention, intimacy, precision and poetry.
Roger Deakin was unique, and so too is this joyful work of creative biography, told primarily in the words of the subject himself, with support from a chorus of friends, family, colleagues, lovers and neighbours.
Delving deep into Roger Deakin's library of words, Patrick Barkham draws from notebooks, diaries, letters, recordings, published work and early drafts, to conjure his voice back to glorious life in these pages. To read this book is to listen in to a dream conversation between a writer and those who knew him intimately.

SCOTLAND'S BIGGAR LITTLE FESTIVAL
REVIEW: SCOTLAND'S BIGGAR LITTLE FESTIVAL @BiggarLittle
Is this Scotland’s most exciting town?
To many travellers and outsiders (anyone from more than ten miles away), the little town of Biggar is usually something that they see fleetingly in their rear-view mirror as they speed up the A702 towards Edinburgh and perhaps beyond, to the scenic highlands.
This little town (population about 2300) has just completed its annual arts festival (The Biggar…

Perhaps the only thing crazier than a hoverfly obsessive would be to write a genre-defying memoir about it and expect to find a publisher and readers. This, of course, is exactly what the writer, translator and biologist has done with The Fly Trap, and a small book about an obscure branch of entomology has become unexpectedly big.

Arborist Ian Dalton sends a message to Paul Billington
Arborist Ian Dalton sends a message to Paul Billington Cheif Exec Sheffield City Council
Mr Billington, you can play around with statistics all you like and say whatever you want to try and convince us that everything is OK, but it's not going to work. Everything is not OK! It's not normal for residents to spend years campaigning against something that the council is doing, it's not normal for the council to take its own residents and and councillors to court simply for standing up for what they believe in. It's not normal for professionals like myself to put their reputation on the line and use their free time and money to try to battle through layers of misinformation and misinterpretations being spread by a local authority who are endowed with the responsibility to promote good practice. Instead we're all being ignored. You know as well as we do that this has gone too far to simply be resolved with an email about a statistic. It's time for action, and I don't mean court action that threatens to steal the homes of good, respectable members of the community you have been entrusted to serve. These people will not be bullied into submission, no amount of threats, emails, police intervention, court hearings or anything else will make this go away. Until the felling of healthy trees in Sheffield STOPS, this battle will continue. It's going to be a very long 25 year contract unless something gives and real changes are made. Every single Tree Officer I've spoken to about this are as appalled and worried as I am, PFI for trees is a direct threat to my role and the industry as a whole, not to mention the health and environment of Sheffield and its residents and the rest of the country. This is a problem that cannot be ignored or played down. The only solution is real change, nothing else will suffice. As uncomfortable as it may be, it's the truth. Someone, somewhere has the power to fix this mess and now is the time for it to happen.
