Treasure Guernsey’s rare trees
Thursday 1st July 2010, 2:29PM BST.
ISLANDERS are being urged to protect local green ‘monuments’.
The Guernsey Society of the Men of the Trees yesterday launched its Treasured Trees initiative and guest speaker Jon Stokes of the UK Tree Council (pictured) has made it his aim to see historic and significant trees recognised as heritage sites.
‘We need to find the trees that matter, not just to Guernsey but on a national level. They are a very important part of the island’s culture and history,’ said the council’s director of rural programmes.
He said the only way to ensure their long-term protection was to encourage people to care more.
