Remove lights from tree trunks

Precious exhibit trees are permanently scarred by this vainglorious atrocity. Where the wire has been nailed – yes nailed – into the trunk, the tree has grown around it, permanently embedding the large wire into the trunks several times a tree.

Managers/curators of the Botanic Garden, go and look at what this “prettiness” is doing to our tress. Friends of the Gardens, stop this.

Drape lights maybe, but do not wrap the limbs and trunks of the trees.
