Urgent! Happy Man Tree to Be felled 'imminently'. Other trees already being cut down. Protesters face two year jail sentences,
The 150 year old Happy Man Tree mentioned in this article is among 41 mature trees being cut down as we speak. The story has reached national news with protesters facing 2 year jail sentences
I went this afternoon after hearing that felling had already begun, and met with the local campaign group 'friends of the happy man tree',
To clarify the Happy Man Tree itself has not yet been cut down, but when I arrived at around 16:00 today, chainsaws were already out, and several huge mature trees just behind the Happy Man Tree were in the process of being cut down.
