TRIBE OF MOG WERE INVOLVED IN THE ‘GREAT TREE HUNT’ IN 2006, A PROJECT DEVELOPED TO BRING AWARENESS OF ALL THE ANCIENT, VETERAN TREES IN THE UK THAT ARE NOT PROTECTED UNDER PRESENT CONSERVATION AND PRESERVATION ACTS. THE TREES MEASURED WILL BE PUT ON A NATIONAL REGISTER SET UP BY THE TREE COUNCIL IN THE HOPE OF PROTECTING THEM BY LAW IN THE FUTURE.
TRIBE OF MOG COLLATED INFORMATION ON TREES WE KNEW ABOUT IN TORBAY, REDISCOVERING OLD VETERANS LONG FORGOTTEN. THE INFORMATION WAS PASSED ON TO THE LOCAL CONSERVATION TRUST TO BE ADDED TO THE NATIONAL REGISTER.
THERE ARE STILL MANY TREES OUT THERE WAITING TO BE INCLUDED. DO YOU KNOW ANY NEAR YOU?

WHEREVER WE TRAVEL, WE LIKE TO DOCUMENT LARGE OR UNUSUAL TREES THAT WE MEET, PARTICULARLY ANCIENT YEWS, OFTEN SITTING IN CHURCHYARDS AROUND THE COUNTRY, MANY OF WHICH ARE NOT PROTECTED BY PRESERVATION ORDERS AND ARE VUNERABLE TO HEAVY PRUNING OR AT WORST FELLING. WE HOPE TO SPREAD THE WORD AND APPRECIATION OF THESE WONDERFUL TREES, SOME OF WHOM ARE THE OLDEST LIVING BEINGS ON THE PLANET.
TREE PLANTING
TRIBE OF MOG ALSO PLANT TREES WHENEVER WE CAN, WHEREVER POSSIBLE. WE PLAN TO LINK UP WITH A CHARITY GROUP THAT WILL HELP US DO THIS FURTHER, PLANTING LARGE NUMBERS OF TREES WITH THE INVOLVEMENT OF LOCAL COMMUNITY.
