Over a year since its illegal felling, we're making sure the legacy of the Sycamore Gap tree lives on 🌳
When the Sycamore Gap tree was felled last September, we recovered 49 saplings from its roots as part of our 'Trees of Hope' initiative - one to represent each foot in height of the tree.

I’m not against a review of Physicians Associates but? just to say, they have been in the UK since 2003 and must be wondering what they’ve done wrong all of a sudden. It’s fine to debate regulation (which PAs want) or scope of work, but let’s not rush to the ‘they’re all rubbish and unsafe’ trope
