Toby Carvery to fund orchard replanting as settlement for felling ancient oak

Reported byGuardian Environment ↗·Sourced by Goodlede

What backs it

A restaurant chain has settled a legal dispute by agreeing to fund the restoration of a lost orchard, converting a destructive incident into a concrete conservation commitment that will plant new trees and restore habitat.

What it doesn’t mean

This settlement compensates for damage already done; it does not restore the 500-year-old oak itself, which cannot be replaced on that timescale.
