I remember as a kid when my school first opened (me and my brother where foundation students) all the students got to plant 1 tree each with the plan being they would be left to grow and be a fixture for generations to come. Found out that a couple of years ago, to make room for expansion of classrooms they all got chopped down and woodchipped. No thought to save them and have them replanted somewhere, just fed into the chipper and done away with.
