Finally the MCC Comms Manager has posted the complete blog on trees in our area, their value, their protection and how tree work should be done. So what has been happening to trees in our neighbourhood? Has the number, cover and composition of trees been changing over time? How future-proof is the system for regulating work done on trees?
Key to this endeavour is William Ellis – who as part of this blog series will be sharing findings from his MSc dissertation. This investigates tree regulation and its use through analysis of related records and interviews with residents, practitioners, and council representatives. As far as we know, this is the first time, anywhere in Scotland, that such a study has been undertaken to review changes in tree volume within a conservation area.
