An Oxugen maker, a flood abater, a carbon absorber, a climate recorder, a healthy aspect, a place to reflect, a nest for an owl, where Gruffalos growl, a climbing frame,the fuel for a flame, a soil stabilizer, a picnic sun-visor, a provider of fruit, winter quarters for Newts, the pages of a tome, the heart of a home, a pollutant filter, a neighborhood gilder, a treatment of fever, a stress reliever, an artists spark, an ancient land mark, a noise muffler, a Bluetits's supper's supper, a temperature reducer, a primary producer, a wind breaker, a wood maker, a natural sculpture.
