Prince Butchers Ancient Oaks
As a result of Prince Phillip's orders, 60 younger trees have been cut down at Windsor Park. Protesters tried to stop the destruction, but workers out manoeuvred them and felled trees at the far end of the park. Protesters have stopped the workers from tidying up and the remains serve as a constant reminder to visitors of this immense destruction. Ironically Prince Phillip is president of the WWF and has committed a string of indiscretions. Campaign for his resignation! The Crown Estate have ‘promised’ not to cut down any more trees until they’ve reconsidered the project. They must now meet the Borough Councillors - who are against the felling - before a final decision is made. There are many trees left to defend including ancient oaks. Get there! Tree sitters are in Queen Anne’s drive, off A332 Kings road from Windsor towards Ascot. They’re on the left as you leave Windsor and enter The Great Park. Call 0421 518699 or 01635 521770.
