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 answe
rs.
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.
