The tree and us

I wrote a piece six years ago about Kilcullen being on the cusp of change, and that things would never be the same as they were when many of us long-time Kilcullen residents were kids.

And indeed they have changed. It is a different town, with different people, and more people, different homes and businesses, and more homes and businesses.

But in one of those funny 'wow' moments this week, I realised how much has also changed in terms of childrens' relationships with their environment. Particularly with trees.
