Click here  to download an article ‘Trees Carved in Memory’, a great story from the April/June edition highlighting the Tasmanian town of Legerwood where locals raised $30,000 to carve wooden sculptures into dying memorial entrance trees to remember seven local young people who did not return from World War I. A great public and memorial piece of art.
