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 | Lettersby 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.

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.

- Country diary 1925: Woodland birdsong heralds the onset of springby 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.
