Add your voice to our call for better protection

Our systems for protecting important trees urgently need updating.
We need improved laws to keep our oldest trees safe.

Our petition urges action for the UK's most special trees. By adding your voice to our campaign, you'll tell decision-makers to protect them properly.

Tell your government to:

1. Protect ancient trees

Give the UK’s very oldest and most important trees legal protection – like endangered wildlife, castles and old buildings already have.

2. Stop the loss of old trees to development

Strengthen policy protection so that trees everywhere can grow old safe from harm. That's whether they're in new developments, urban areas or the countryside.

3. Increase support for tree care

Make it easier for people who own and manage our oldest trees to access support to look after them.
