DAVID QUARRIE laments the destruction of trees in Sheffield (Letters, August 16).

Hopefully this sad tale will not be repeated in York, where Treemendous York has been working hard over the past five years with community groups, residents associations, business and private individuals, not to mention our local authority, to advise and access sources of funding for planting over 15,000 trees, with more to come.

We are always looking for more sites to plant trees and volunteers to help.

Readers can find out more at treemendousinfo@gmail.com and look us up on Facebook. Why not?
