The battle to rescue an ancient oak demonstrates more trees need protecting, says a charity.
A battle by villagers to save an old oak from being chopped down has laid bare the need for better protection for vulnerable trees, a conservation charity says.
Jack Taylor, from the trust, said its Living Legends campaign was launched to try and ensure "our most precious trees to have the protection they need". The conservationists want the UK governments to give similar protection to trees as that bestowed on endangered wildlife and historic buildings and also bolster its development policies in favour of landmark trees.
