Just as the dust was starting to settle after the New Year’s Eve celebrations (or should I say water receding after our early morning New Year’s day drenching) the new year was marred by the uprooting of one of the Lions Den’s most admired and recognised trees. A beautiful red flowering Poinciana estimated to be between 40-50 years old, this iconic tree was a favourite with, owners, locals, campers and nature lovers alike. It is a terrible tragedy and this beautiful old tree will be sadly missed..................please, no need to send flowers.
