Default Verdun Oaks


The Woodland Trust is trying to track down the Verdun Oaks, planted after
WW1 using acorns brought back from the battlefields. They want to plant
successors in a similar manner.

if anyone knows of one, the Woodland Trust would like to know about it.
And if not, you could contribute to the scheme in other ways.
