This year, several attacks have been launched on trees in community woodlands and orchards in Newport.
The spate seemingly began in January, when several trees in the King Charles III Community Orchard were damaged by vandals.
The apple, pear, plum and damson trees in Victoria Park were planted on the final day of coronation celebrations in 2023 by around 40 volunteers from 13 of Newport's community groups.
Less than a month later, eight more trees were snapped - this time in the Queen Elizabeth II Covid Memorial Woodland in Strine Park, almost three years to the day after the woodland was first planted.
