Standing Up For Trees

One of our local woods have just moved one of the footpaths and closed off the old one, with this message. The strange thing is, the new path runs parallel with the old and within falling distance of the trees?

Health and safety got it wrong.

[Pat Knowles]

Not much sense there then!! The one on the left does look rather precarious!

Perhaps its only one tree and one squirrel?
