| - The Sheffield tree felling protests were a series of protests and unrest happening between 2014 and 2018 in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. The protests began as a response to the mass felling of healthy street trees across Sheffield since 2012 as part of the controversial ‘Streets Ahead’ Private Finance Initiative (PFI) contract signed by Sheffield City Council (SCC), Amey plc and the Department for Transport. The protests have resulted in many arrests across the city along with threats of legal action against Sheffield City Council and Amey plc in order to help prevent unnecessary felling of street trees in Sheffield. Due to a pause of tree felling in 2018 as part of a new approach developed by Sheffield City Council to maintain street trees, there have been no widespread protests around the city since 2018. The Sheffield Street Tree Partnership Strategy was signed jointly in 2021 by representatives of the City Council, Amey, the Sheffield and Rotherham Wildlife Trust, the Woodland Trust and the anti-felling campaigners in Sheffield Trees Action Groups (STAG) to ensure the continued maintenance of the street trees around the city.
