STOP THE TULLOS HILL ‘TREE SCHEME’ AND DEER CULL – DON’T USE CHILDREN TO PLANT TREES ON A DANGEROUS SITE!

We the undersigned demand that the City stops it controversial tree planting/deer cull scheme for Tullos Hill.  We are very concerned the site chosen for planting is polluted and unsafe – we do not want children involved in the planting, as the City is planning.  We find it audacious the City would use children for this work while pretending it was ‘educational’.  We believe the Forestry Commission’s soil reports have already proved Tullos’ soil would not support trees, and it is now very clear the soil is not only rocky, but contaminated with industrial waste.  

We know the deer move from site to site, have lived in the area for at least 60 years, and do not need to be shot to protect them somehow.  Shooting the Tullos deer will only mean other deer move into the area.  The roe deer live for 6 or 7 years.  We demand the city stops the cull and engages with the community councils in the area – which likewise oppose the cull – and 1.  Preserves and enhances Tullos as the Meadowland it already is, and 2. Works on ways to protect the deer and other wildlife; their habitat is disappearing due to over-building in the area.
