Rising temperatures threaten UK trees – but these resilient species could help save our forests

Some of the United Kingdom's most valued trees are struggling to keep pace with climate change and increasing extreme weather.

"We are very concerned that changing conditions are putting our trees under significant stress," warns Dr Eleanor Tew from Forestry England.

To future-proof our forests, a 'species for the future' list has been released highlighting thirty trees likely to thrive in a warmer climate.

It includes familiar names like oak, birch, and alder, alongside less common species such as coast redwood and Corsican pine, which it is hoped will lead to a more resilient woodland.

Absurd claim considering that the Brits cut down virtually all their own forests years ago.

I guess this is what catastrophe occurs when thousands of years of animal poop is left to just rot. *****rollingeyes*****
