Following the collapse of part of a beech tree onto Duncombe Terrace due to squirrel damage, the Trust has been keen to address the problem of the tree rats. We understand that initially they have called upon the services of Eric the rat catcher and his handler. This is on a trial basis and should the approach prove worthwhile they may try for further recruits. With one success already under his collar, Eric will be scouring Old Copse Wood now that the sweet chestnuts are thick on the ground.
