Two fruit trees planted as part of a youth project have been snapped by vandals.
The trees, which had been growing for a year, were damaged sometime last weekend on a patch of land on the National Trust’s Whitehaven Coast.
They were put there by the Whitehaven Harbour Youth. There are now plans to plant eight more in the hope they will be “left alone”.
“A lot of effort goes into ensuring they get a good start but that can all be undone in a moment,” the National Trust said, adding it was “disappointing but an isolated incident”.
