| Abstract: | Trees at Risk is a growing archive of portraits of local trees earmarked for felling as a consequence of AMEY's current Streets Ahead road improvement programme. Three large scale images and a group of 56 small prints were shown in the group exhibition of photography In Celebration of Trees initiated by the Nether Edge Save the Tree Campaign. See statement about work in Additional Information section below |

| Additional Information: | Statement about exhibited work: Trees at Risk (Some Already Gone) This documentation represents a small sample of the trees that we stand to lose or have already lost within our neighbourhood. Unfortunately, as further streets are added in the proposed felling scheme, this archive will continue to grow. There is a diverse range of species living on our streets including London Plane, Sycamore, Common Lime, Common Ash, Horse Chestnut, Japanese Cherry, Common Hawthorn, Whitebeam, Rowan, Elm and Birch. Each individual tree is unique. As Amey identifies trees to be felled, surveys are sent out to local residents by the council. If enough residents (more than 50%) object to the plans the decisions are referred to an Independent Tree Panel. However, Sheffield residents only receive information about the street we live on. We are not informed of or invited to comment on the plans for the condemned trees on any other streets in our local areas or wider city through this process. Many people have been shocked when they began to realise how many familiar trees could go (or have already gone) throughout the city. The Sheffield Trees at Risk Map, set up and moderated by Chris Rust, indicates locations, species, condition and current status of local trees condemned in 2016 (e.g. felled/ referred to Independent Tree Panel/ still standing but in imminent danger/ etc). It is the only way for the general public to access the collated information and get a sense of the bigger picture. It has been an invaluable resource in the production of this ongoing archive.
