Thank you very much to everyone who donated to Fergus's tree fund. We've been overwhelmed by the support, generosity and kindness we've received since Fergus went missing, and hope the tree and its dedication panel will provide a positive experience for all those who visit it in years to come. My dad's working on a short book about Fergus and would like to supply it to people who've contributed to this fund, but we don't have contact details for everyone. If you'd like to receive a copy please drop me a line on lornaATsentDOTcom. Thank you.

TREE PANEL NOW IN PLACE The dedication panel for the Caucasian Wingnut adopted in memory of Fergus is now installed in the Botanic Garden. The tree is located near the East Gate and a map can be downloaded from the Botanics website - http://celebratelife.rbge.org.uk/tree-adoptions. Click on the green 'Adopt a tree' button, scroll down to 'Caucasian Wingnut' and click on the word 'Map'. The tree is numbered 'E06' and can be found near the pond, north of the East Gate. If you'd like me to email/post a map to you, please contact lornaATsent.com

Just Giving have alerted me to the fact that Fergus's fund has reached nearly 75% of the total we're aiming for, which reminds me to thank the many people who've given so generously since my last update. We're most grateful for the all the donations, whether made by named individuals or given anonymously. The Royal Botanic Garden is currently working on producing the dedication panel that will sit alongside the Caucasian wingnut we've adopted in memory of Fergus. When the panel's in place in the garden I'll post another update with details.
