Julia’s tree

Firs Hill Monkey Puzzle Tree
Firs Hill Monkey Puzzle Tree

Story: Lisa Swift

Just before Christmas a tree was stolen in Firs Hill which was planted by Julia Pidd. Julia died in October 2013 and it was very upsetting for all who knew her to see the tree go missing.

Julia Pidd paid for and planted the Monkey Puzzle tree in 2007, with support from the Council’s Forestry Team. She was active in the community for many years and wanted to plant her favourite tree for the whole estate to enjoy for years to come.

As the tree was so significant to local residents local Councillors and the Forestry Team have agreed to pay for and plant a replacement, which will hopefully be planted in spring.
