Beech Trees (EDM449)

Beech Trees

EDM number 449 in 2007-08, proposed by Timothy Farron on 03/12/2007.
Categorised under the topics of Biodiversity, Countryside and Nature conservation.

That this House believes that beech trees are an integral part of the British landscape; is dismayed that beech trees are at risk of disappearing from parts of the British Isles due to a combination of felling in the north and climate change in the south; further believes that beeches should be reclassified in Cumbria as new native in order to prevent their felling as non-native; and wishes to ensure that these trees will be around for the benefit of biodiversity and future generations.

This motion has been signed by a total of 33 MPs.
