Help with trees?
Asked on 13 Mar, 2008
This is a question to anyone in Fife - Torbain Primary School in Kirkcaldy recently planted a lot of sapling trees that they had bought with a grant from the Woodlands Trust only for vandals to destroy them - they don't want to be beaten by the vandals and wondered if anyone had any cuttings of trees or unwanted trees they might be able to donate to replace those they lost? If so, you'll find them in the phone book. you can find out more by going to the Fife Free Press Website.

Buzbee ~ That is such a shame. Too bad all that energy can't be used to generate something good. I wish I could help, but Im a bit too far.

Maybe the children could grow some trees from seed - they could go and collect acorns - easy to grow and educational too.

Why don't you publicise this in your area and see if a kind business (or three) would sponsor new ones? I am HORRIFIED to hear what happened.

I thought people might like an update on the local school's trees. The vandalism was reported on the front page of the local newspaper and apparently within hours a local man pledged 6 trees from his own garden, Fife Council (our local government authority) gave £750 and Craigencault Ecology Centre, near where we live, agreed to give trees from their stock and to help the pupils plant them - so that was a fairly good response.

Glad to hear it, Buzzbee. Will that be enough to replace all the trees?

That's awful, Buzzbee, I'll keep my eyes and ears open. A suitable tree in this case would be birch. Pity it can't be used to punish these mindless thugs nowadays!
