Some developers tried to cut down an ancient hedgerow, in breeding season, with outdated permission that failed to mention a hedgerow, in an area that recently became an SNCI.

After a long standoff we sent them packing.

Brilliant job from everyone at @bristoltreefora and the fearless Cathrin Machin, Danica P, and everyone else.

I’m on guard duty this evening, because god knows who’s trying to come through in the middle of the night and cut things down as they’ve done in Plymouth recently.

If you know where I’m talking about feel free to swing by with a cider.

While I’ve been sat here in this farm lane in Bristol I’ve heard 13 different bird calls. Absolutely zero tolerance for the asshole developers trying to force this through now.

They had their questionable permissions since February.

Too late.

We’re here all night, and tomorrow your computers (and cops) will say no.

@Philsturgeon Heroic work, thank you! 🙏
