P-04-439 Ancient veteran and heritage trees of Wales to be given greater protection – Correspondence from the Petitioner to the Clerking team, 23.02.17
Hi Kayleigh
The latest on this is that the Welsh Government established a Task and Finish Group to look at this issue. I know this as I am a member. The group has met twice and draft recommendations have been produced by the Civil Servant Chris James. As nothing had happened for some months, I wrote to the Minister Lesley Griffiths at the end of last year to ask if anything was happening on this. I received quite a positive reply. In response to this, I wrote this blog on the subject, which explains this in more detail:

You are very welcome to use any quotes from the blog.
Many thanks
Rory
