The Wild Service Tree in Oversley Wood appears to have been marked for felling. As this is the only example of this species in Warwickshire local people are concerned.

Brilliant walk, 4km is just the right length. V busy little bit of wood, but all the dogs and owners impeccably behaved - good afternoon :-) Access Road is terrible (glad I have a 4x4!)
