Sending Love to Lost & Lonely Trees

Story & Experience
This morning as part of People Binding the Earth we held our ‘Love to Lost and Lonely Trees’ event here in Alsager, Cheshire (England). We spent some time with two trees—one an old yew tree felled for development (or rather, a yew tree on public space but felled to make an access road to a housing development) and the other an oak tree, previously standing in the middle of an open green field, that was saved from felling but has been totally built around with new housing. I chose them to represent all of the lost and lonely trees in our community. We left flowers at each tree, tied with the yellow yarn, as well as a couple of poetry quotes and ‘arboricide’ definition tags that we made. At the oak tree, a very friendly ginger cat came from nowhere to join us, which was nice.
