Our thoughts go out to all affected by recent floods. Nature-based solutions in catchments & floodplains must be part of plans for future.
SRWT is one of these trusts. Here is another picture of one of SRWT's bare catchments.
Will things now change? Ah, "the future". No point in optimism. They calculated and manipulated to prevent any discussion of the issue and then tied themselves into 10 year agreements aimed to keep it all bare and compacted!! Most 'trust'worthy. Once again, it's all about money.
But messages are also coming from SRWT itself, another case of bandwagon jumping. Now we have a call for a tree strategy for Sheffield. I can hear the hollow laughter

I like "the personal value to people" and "full consideration". Priceless.
I've heard the assertion before with scepticism - that Sheffield is one of the "most wooded cities in Britain"; now Europe is quoted. I've not seen any evidence that there has been any reliable evaluation to back up the statement. What is beyond dispute is that in percentage terms Britain is one of the least wooded countries in Europe and Sheffield has a high proportion of high land that should be wooded and is kept artificially treeless - and SRWT has some responsibility for that.
