     Researchers recently made a survey about how people know trees in UK.They showed them

pictures of 10 of Britain's most popular types of trees.They  asked them to name each.Many British

people cannot give the right answers.

      One in 20 people questioned could not name any of the Britain's common  trees.Horse chestnut

and oak are very common in Britain.Britons can see  them everywhere from parks and gardens to the

countryside and forests.But  five per cent of Britons could not name the two trees.

     While older people are more likely than younger adults to name Britain's  local trees,the knowledge

is not being passed down.

      Over 70% parents say they have never taught their children the names of  trees nor asked them

about what they may have learnt at school or elsewhere.

     "It is very disappointing to learn that people know very little about British  trees," said one of the

researchers.
