Meet the man championing trees in Knowle West
By Charlie Watts, Tuesday Feb 23, 2021
If you see trees being planted in Knowle West, chances are a tall man wearing a hat isn’t far from the action.
Jim Smith, 73, is a Knowle West resident and the Filwood Tree Champion, keeping an eye on trees in the local area and rooting for new ones to be planted there.
On this occasion, he’s keeping watch over Filwood Broadway, where ten trees are being planted for Bristol’s Greenstreets. This is a partnership between Bristol City Council, Forest of Avon Trust and Bristol Tree Forum, overseeing the planting of 590 trees in 59 areas of Bristol.

COVID-19 isn’t merely a human disease animals can catch it too. Species infected so far include domestic cats, lions, tigers, mink, and dogs. In January, three gorillas at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park tested positive, the first such cases in any non-human primate.
The gorillas which were likely infected by an asymptomatic keeper recovered, in part with medical help. Winston, the troop’s 49-year-old leader, who has an underlying heart condition, developed pneumonia and was given antibiotics, heart medication, and monoclonal antibody therapy.
That great apes are susceptible to the coronavirus doesn’t surprise researchers, given the similarity between humans and primates, including gorillas, chimpanzees, and orangutans. The worry now is that these animals could be exposed to COVID-19 in the wild.
