Can some reference be made the the Black Country Urban Forest which had a significant amount of planting through Lottery in 1995- 2000, money was also made available for managing urban woodlands through this funding project. These trees are now over 20 years old and in need of management. These trees contribute significantly to the BC landscape and should not be destroyed in pursuit of development sites. If these sites are under threat then appropriate mitigation nearby needs to be found.
