So how important are Trees to Sleaford?

Boston Road Recreation Ground Tree Renewal? 

Interestingly a Tree Officer report is circulating, and has been presented to the Sleaford Town Council, on the health of some of the trees on the Recreation Ground. Some, not many compared to the total number of trees need attention: either felling or "surgery". Replacement,  as I understand, is expected to be Oak.

Clearly this means that they may, or will become dangerous, if they fall on those residents using the wooded area to, for instance, walk dogs. So warning signs will be needed.


About 5 or 6 trees are earmarked for felling.There are preservation orders to consider.

On a more positive note there are 3 Black Poplars (not at risk) that is hoped to take cuttings from for the future.
