| Hikers delight in their find |
A delightful new Christmas tradition has been happening around Cranbrook in the last few years - that of decorating living trees in their natural environment. The surprise of rounding a corner on a well-loved trail and finding one of these lovingly decorated trees is a real treat. The unknown decorator (or decorators) is a mystery, the pleasure of finding one, simple but this thoughtful gesture highlights the true gift of the incredible environment we have around around us.
These beautiful trees glistening with a few strings of tinsel, set against all that the natural world gives us, really are all that is necessary to symbolise a season of appreciation.
We hope our readers find one of these trees soon but you will need to be quick because after Christmas the decorations magically disappear as suddenly as they appeared.
Thank You Elves
What a great idea!!
ReplyDeleteAre these decorations biodegradable? It is very pretty and a good alternative to cutting down a tree but wildlife won't know they shouldn't eat it or use it for nest material. I would try something biodegradable or even edible for wildlife, even if I returned later to collect the decorations. Lots of birds are atracted to red things, think of Bohemian Waxwings and mountain ash berries, for example.
