Twenty faces appeared on the trunks of trees in Vicarage Grove today. They varied from terrifying to mischievous but all had a common purpose, to protect the trees and woodland. The ‘Tree Guardians’ know what threatens trees and they intend to keep the woodland safe from extreme weather, disease, animal grazing, human damage from leaving paths, dogs disturbing the habitat and pressure to turn woodland into food production areas. So if you visit Grove Woods, take care not to upset The Guardians.
