Councillor, Paul Bown has been leading the PC work regarding their responsibilities for trees in the village and unsurprisingly much of this work concerns the maintenance and preservation of the many trees planted by the council over very many years. A recent example is the placing of pheromone traps on the iconic Horse Chestnut tree at the junction of Winchendon and Aylesbury Road, to limit the damage by leaf-mining moths, which followed detailed research undertaken by parishioner, Ian Houseman.
“In the fullness of time, these two trees will considerably enhance the approach to our village from Chilton Road and I think it also demonstrates our commitment to our environmental responsibilities” said Paul.
“We would urge parishioners to pass on any concerns about the current condition of the established trees in the village and would welcome suggestions for additional planting in the common parts of the village.” All queries and suggestions to Chearsleypc@chearsley.com.
