Five mature trees thought to be over 60 years old have been poisoned in Lancashire, the Woodland Trust said.

The beech trees were found with drill holes at their bases in a wood near Accrington known as Laund Clough.

The trust believes a weed killer, "likely to be glyphosate", was used. A spokesman said the trees would now have to be removed at a cost of £2,000.

The people who do such things don't realise how important trees are.
