Vandalism of Society memorial trees in Skewen Park

Posted on by

It is with great sadness the Society has to report that one of the WW1 memorial trees that was planted earlier this year has been vandalised.  Mr. Chris Richards and his team will do their best to save the tree but he is not hopeful of success.

If anyone has any information about the perpetrators of the vandalism, please get in touch with the Society, Mr. Richards at the park or the local police.

The split in the main trunk of the tree can be seen clearly.
