There is a picture book by Shaun Tan & Gary Crew "Memorial", about a loss of a tree, which sounds very much like your story (http://www.shauntan.net/books/memorial.html).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3402465881767446501.post-61011120748141606752014-07-24T15:15:06.521+10:002014-07-24T15:15:06.521+10:00I would ask all of the children....and adults....w...I would ask all of the children....and adults....who have been touched by the tree to send letters to the council. I'd consider a bit more press around this as well to put pressure on to stop this sort of nonsense. I apologize that I bring a rebellious flavor to this very sensitive situation - maybe it is the yank in me - but I would raise holy hell over this, including your yarn protests. Best of luck and so sorry to hear about this beautiful and special tree.dreaming in mainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00351781973941395751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3402465881767446501.post-74824538725954033652014-07-09T18:12:31.060+10:002014-07-09T18:12:31.060+10:00Such a shame!

It seems "gardening guy" needs a little re-educationing and this can be done by writing a letter to Council detailing the events and include pictures of before and after especially the photos with the community enjoying the space and tree.

Natural, wild play is so fundamentally important to our children's development and sense of wellbeing. It has been shown that it profoundly impacts on their self-worth and their behaviour as adults. I'm at a loss as to why your council did this so cruelly. I hope you and your owlets can find another climbing tree soon.
