Community rallies round after park trees destroyed
Frome Standard
|June 19, 2025
Frome resident Nick East launched a fundraiser in response to recent acts of vandalism in Victoria Park - and passed his £364 target in just four hours.
-
Nick was inspired to act after reading about the destruction of two Kanzan cherry trees, planted by Frome Town Council's ranger team last autumn in partnership with Selwood Academy.
Nick said: “On Sunday 1st June a member of the community in Frome discovered that two young trees had been destroyed overnight in Victoria Park.
“Alas, they weren't just any old trees. Pupils at Selwood Academy were involved in their planting, and one of them was accompanied by a memorial plaque.
