One tree less today in Bath historic park.

Richard Wyatt,

Bath’s historic Sydney Gardens lost another tree today – Tuesday, November 7th.

It was a sycamore which was said to be in a poor condition and dying.

The sycamore is to the left of the notice board.

A notice posted by B&NES said: ” It will not recover or improve so needs to be removed before the risk of limb or even stem failure becomes too high.

The sycamore is the smaller tree on the right .

Replacement tree planting is included as part of the Sydney Gardens Restoration Project.’

Here’s roughly the same view with it gone.

That rather depends upon an application being prepared for Heritage Lottery funding and won’t get underway – if the money is forthcoming – for a couple of years.
