| Bristol Water has identified a small number of veteran trees on its land holdings and will protect these trees in the future. No veteran trees have needed any remedial surgery in the last two years. In general the small copses on the Company's land tend to contain relatively young trees (less than 200 years old), but a policy of leaving dead trees standing whenever this does not pose a significant risk to people has been adopted. | Progress: Bristol Water has identified a small number of veteran trees on its land holdings and will protect these trees in the future.
