Can anyone advise on how to discover if trees are "protected".
We have a major problem with large Lime trees on and around our
property. We and several neighbours, are concerned on the safety of
local children, with falling branches-sticky deposits attracting wasps
(which have stung several children).
We are keen to get rid but have been told that they are protected.
We don't want to contact the local council person because she is a real
stickler and will not listen.
many thanks

I sincerely hope they are protected.

Try your local govt. website., found several using Google with protected
tree info on them. If you are living in a conservation area then all trees
are protected.
