Living near newly planted trees linked to healthier birth outcomes in newborns
on April 23, 2025 at 8:35 pm
The link between proximity to greenspace—including trees and parks—and healthy birth outcomes is well established. Now new data from researchers at Drexel University’s Dornsife School of Public Health adds to our understanding of these health benefits, accounting for other factors that may influence this link, such as education, income and body mass index, but also taking the body of knowledge a step further by exploring the effect of residing near newly planted trees.

Felled giants expose gaps in tree protection | Letters
by Guardian Staff on April 23, 2025 at 3:50 pm
After the loss of the Sycamore Gap tree and Enfield oak, Paul Kleiman would like to adopt Canada-style protections, while Linda Marriott urges local vigilanceThe felling of the much-loved sycamore at Sycamore Gap, the oak in Enfield and, at a more personal level, of more than 30 trees that were between 50 and 100 years old in a neighbouring garden by a developer over a weekend demonstrates just how weak our tree protection laws are (UK government report calls for taskforce to save England’s historic trees, 16 April). We should have a system of protection like Toronto, Canada, where virtually all trees, public and private, are automatically protected and any felling requires a licence to be obtained. Where felling is permitted, the bylaws also require new trees to be planted and there are penalties of up to C$100,000 (£54,000) if you contravene the law.Paul KleimanTruro, Cornwall• The felling of an ancient oak in Enfield earlier this month could have been prevented (Spurs contractors judged felled Enfield oak to be ‘fine specimen’, 17 April). Recently a massive oak in our neighbourhood was saved from the chainsaw by half an hour after neighbours acted swiftly with the district council’s officer on hearing rumours that it was to happen.

Sanctioned Russian and Belarusian wood smuggled into UK, study suggests
by Patrick Greenfield on April 23, 2025 at 6:00 am
‘Chemical fingerprint’ shows 46% of wood samples certified as sustainable did not come from labelled country of originNearly half of birch wood certified by leading sustainability schemes is misidentified and does not come from the labelled country of origin, according to new testing. The analysis raises fears that large quantities of sanctioned wood from Russia and Belarus are still illegally entering Britain.New research by World Forest ID, a consortium of research organisations that includes Kew Gardens and the World Resources Institute, scrutinised the accuracy of dozens of harvesting-origin claims on birch products, which had almost entirely been approved by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) sustainability schemes.

How do you like them apples? Apple genus evolution revealed
on April 22, 2025 at 7:58 pm
A new comparison and analysis of the genomes of species in the genus Malus, which includes the domesticated apple and its wild relatives, revealed the evolutionary relationships among the species and how their genomes have evolved over the past nearly 60 million years. The research team identified structural variations among the genomes and developed methods for identifying genes associated with desirable traits, like tastiness and resistance to disease and cold, that could help guide future apple breeding programs.

In a new study, researchers used more than 5 million measurements from individual trees across much of eastern North America and showed the rate at which introduced species are spreading has increased over the last two decades. Additionally, native tree diversity is on the decline in areas where exotic species originally introduced by humans have encroached.

Country diary 1925: Woodland birdsong heralds the onset of spring
by Janet Case on April 21, 2025 at 5:00 am
22 April 1925: We hear the willow wren’s short song at every turn, the strident note of the wryneck and the cuckoo for the first timeNEW FOREST: The oaks are breaking into leaf, but the ash buds are still as black as in March. Does that really give hope of “no more than a splash,” and shall we be spared the “soak” that is promised “when the ash is out before the oak?” We can see the clusters of blossom buds forming among the leaves of the apple trees; and in the hedges the blackthorn is making splashes of white among the new green of the thorns.We hear the willow wren’s short song now at every turn, swelling and dying away to a whisper, one of the spring’s delights. We have heard no chiffchaff yet. The old woodman tells me that here the whitethroat comes before the chiffchaff. A hard saying, for in 1923, my first spring here, I heard the chiffchaff on 2 April, too early surely for any whitethroat. A solitary swallow flew by on the 13th, but there were no more to be seen till the 18th. No one could have been deceived into thinking that one could make a summer, for the gales and rain in the middle of the week were wintry. I heard the rather strident note of the wryneck on the 14th. He always comes back to the same spot. He, too, apparently, took cover during the rough days, but by the end of the week he was calling constantly. We heard the cuckoo for the first time yesterday.
