CLA52 – Trees and the landowner

The ownership and management of trees and woodland are issues that affect many, if not most, CLA members. This new CLA advisory handbook, written by CLA Chief Legal Adviser and Head of Policy Services Christopher Price, looks at the main issues that anyone with an interest in the ownership and management of trees and woodlands needs to know.

The handbook explains the rights and duties of the owners of trees – everything from the right to collect fruit that has dropped into a neighbour's garden to the circumstances in which a felling licence is required.

In addition, comparatively recent law concerning topics such as tree preservation orders, high hedges and the requirement concerning bats and dormice is also covered in the handbook.

To order this handbook:

telephone the CLA Publications Department on 020 7235 0511 – please have your membership and credit card numbers to hand;

or

write to the CLA Publications Department, 16 Belgrave Square, London, SW1X 8PQ enclosing cheque/postal orders made payable to CLA.

Price for members: £22 - Price for non-members: £29
