Ancient English oak trees dying due to extreme summer heat and drought

Ancient English oak trees dying due to extreme summer heat and drought

The Woodland Trust reports that England's ancient oak trees are dying from drought stress caused by extreme hot and dry weather. The conservation charity says older 'survivor' trees are being disproportionately affected. Many trees are entering an early autumn, wilting and losing leaves prematurely to cope with the conditions.

They stood through so much history, only to fall now. May Allah grant us rain and wisdom to care for His creation properly.

Our gardens are struggling here in Madrid too. Imagine what it’s like for centuries-old giants. This makes me want to plant native shade trees.

I visited some of these oaks as a kid. It's a tangible loss, like losing wise elders. We really need to talk about water management globally.
