Fourteen of the new trees on Ham Common were vandalised, mostly with dogs, and so their replacements have been protected by deer fences that are more familiar in Richmond Park. It is a shame that such measures are necessary but I hope that they work and this generation of trees is allowed to grow-up to join their more elderly neighbours in forming a grand avenue across the common.

New trees on Ham Common
Fourteen of the new trees on Ham Common were vandalised, mostly with dogs, and so their replacements have been protected by deer fences that are more familiar in Richmond Park. It is a shame that such measures are necessary but I hope that they work and this generation of trees is allowed to grow-up to join their more elderly neighbours in forming a grand avenue across the common.
