As a former Californian (thirty years ago -Bay Area-Shell Development), I know of the great interest in California for trees and remember well  the Muir (is it Henry?) Park with its famous Redwoods just north of S.F.

Back in England where I now live (and teach) I have recently discovered to my horror that fifty four mature Beeches (over two hundred years old) are threatened with destruction even though half of them are perfectly healthy because they are said to be a danger to the public .

These famous Beeches are in the Lake District National Park in The Rusland Valley near Coniston Water, Cumbria, England.

There is a deadline (!) of 1st October 1996 to reverse the decision. 
I am doing my bit to try and save them. 

Would this  Newsgroup like further details as we would like help in our campaign to save them. Any advice would be appreciated?

If not could someone politely tell me where to go? !  !   !  ( I'm new to this group)
