How to Determine if a Tree is Protected before removing it

Trees play an important contribution to our ecosystem, providing shade, clean air and aesthetic value to our surroundings. However they are not all alike and some have an additional status of protection, making it illegal to carry out any work without permission. If you're thinking of having a tree removed, it's essential to understand the status of protection for the tree in question, and what steps you'll need to follow to be in compliance with the law.
