Giant Redwoods Thriving in the UK - The worlds biggest trees!
In this episode, the second of the 'Save the Ketton Redwoods' Series, we journey from Britain to California to get a better understanding of Giant Sequoia and the Coast Redwood. Featuring an interview with Kimberly Wright from the Ancient Forest Society. I want to use this film to highlight how special these trees are, and raise awareness of a grove of giant sequoia that are under threat of felling in my home village of Ketton.

UPDATE:
Just a few hours prior to this video going live, I received an email from Heidelberg Materials Planning Consultant who informed me:
“As you requested, we are revising our extraction plans to preserve the section of redwoods alongside the access track into the field. As part of that redraft, we also intend to relocate part of the Field 14 screening bund from north of that same tree belt and move it to the south of the tree belt, thereby preserving a large section of the ridge and furrow in Field 14. This will link well with the proposed permissive path alongside Empingham Road, which runs into that part of Field 14 and the ridge and furrow land, giving public access where previously there was none. Having discussed these changes with RCC, revised plans are now being drawn up but have not yet been formally submitted.”
Until the plans are formally submitted the petition will remain active.
