SAVE DATCHET TREE
This 170-year-old Wellingtonia is at risk of destruction
Residents, Borough and Parish Councillors are objecting to RBWM’s planning officers’ decision to allow the tree to be felled and a campaign to protect this landmark tree which started in the village is now gathering wider attention.
#SaveDatchetTree has been set up on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter; banners have been hung around the village; and residents are writing letters of protest to RBWM and Direct Line asking both to honour their environmental and climate commitment and find alternatives to felling the tree.
Saving this tree is within RBWM’s power
A giant cedar in Windsor was saved in nearly identical circumstances. #SaveDatchetTree is simply asking that RBWM gives Datchet’s landmark Wellingtonia the same consideration. Felling this tree would detract from the natural environment and would show disregard for the intrinsic character and beauty of the riverside area and the wider benefit of its trees.
