  You say on 2nd Jan 2026 that you fixed these areas of graffiti on 3 trees on. However the graffiti is simply painted over with grey paint (missing the white graffiti at the bottom of one of the 3 trees), rather than removed using special chemicals that do not damage trees , manual scrubbing or pressure washers. As well as your grey paint being ugly, surely it has clogged the lenticels (blocking oxygen uptake & release of carbon dioxide respiration) and harmed the sensitive cambium layer (which is essential for transporting water and nutrients) and reduced the trees' ability to sense natural light (affecting natural processes).

  Additionally, the long log next the pond below these 3 trees now also has white graffiti along its entire length.

  Finally, although the pond area has had a large amount of litter removed recently, another c50 items of litter have now been left there.

  Thank you if you can look into all this.
