A tree of life

An ecosystem that supports many insects and birds. For many generation.

“A gentle tongue is a tree of life” Pr15.4a
Healing words foster life.

But destroyed….

The ecosystem dies. Birds no longer nest. New life has been snuffed out.

“but perverseness in it, breaks the spirit” Pr 15.4b

This is the work my local council. It has an Eco corner.

Is there a reason given for felling this tree? Was it diseased or dangerous on the side of the road?

@peterlee The one on the left looks safe enough. Lorries and double decker buses also have to be taken into consideration, but often wise pruning is sufficient to give clearance.

@FreddieUK That tree could have been saved with topping, pruning and careful management. New shoots would have appeared giving hope.

@peterlee That is a detail only a conversation with the local advisers could help me decide on. In principle, I agree with you about not destroying nature, but I am also practical.
