Xander Sable: Super article about hopeful work for Elm conservation. Lovely that it's Kent-based! The aims of this, to replace traditionally-shaped trees, are valid, but I recently learnt that elms are great as hedges and don't get diseased = great way to provide butterfly/moth food. More Elm hedges!
