Why is the large Willow tree being cut down?

The large tree in the south-western corner of the park is a female Willow, which sheds thousands of seeds and consequently large numbers of unwanted saplings shoot up all around it.  It will be replaced by a number of male Willow saplings, which will produce nectar and pollen (important for insects) but no seeds.  For further information, go to end of Judy Webb's work plan for the park for Autumn 2011 - click here
