Gift of trees from America (From Southend Standard)

Donating a tree. Ive never heard of anything so pathetic. Whats next, donating an apple from the tree?

I hope they were native, British grown trees what with all the ash dieback and the like from imported trees....

It is a good idea. However, there are fewer and fewer places to plant them and I do not trust the council to not remove them again, for some hairbrained scheme, once they have matured.

A generous gesture from Mr Abrey, hope he does get the chance to sit in the shade of some of them in years to come.

It needs more than 12 to replace trees that have been taken out by the council and NOT replaced. they say that they are but they are not as in certain cases they dont have to.

12 trees in and 1,000 out in Belfairs park .

My thoughts exactly. Don't want any overseas diseases wiping out our flora or fauna!

I saw the bit that claims "hundreds of trees" but could not see where it said 1000.

Until anything is officially is announced who do you believe the Council or a protest group known for hugging trees.

How can you call the cutting down of trees “murder” and “genocide”

Not my words…

Murder:
The unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another.

Genocide:
The deliberate killing of a large group of people, esp. those of a particular ethnic group or nation.

Both words that should not be used in the cutting down of a few trees just take a look at the REAL genocide’s that are happening throughout the world and take a moment to think a human life or a tree what is more tragic to loose, something that can be replaced or something that can never be replaced.

It is wrong to reduce to power of just what genocide and murder means to make countless human lives on par with a tree.

A decent gesture and shows where his roots are.

Good on you Mr Abrey, I wonder what secondary school you went to (Sacred Heart is a RC Primary School).
So SKIPP liken the cutting down of trees to genocide do they? I think it's obvious they have no real understanding of what they say - & cannot believe any of them have direct experience of genocide.
Anyway, what do trees (anywhere) have to do with the exhibiting of Saxon atrefacts in a park?

It leaves a horrible taste in the mouth to see a Southend based group actually tie the chopping down of trees in with the atrocities we have seen unfold in Darfur and the ongoing actions in Syria, to say an oppressed people are no more important than a tree well can’t really say what I think of such statements.

A football, a soft toy and a handful of sweets brings a smile; a bottle of water saves a life for just another day.

Not going into details but just a day out there will change you for the rest of your life.
