Badger tree

located on the entrance of the driveway to Louth farm park.

This striking mural by Nikita Spires transforms a dead tree-stump near Eastfield Road / Louth Park into a vivid visual appeal for wildlife awareness. A boldly painted badger, framed by luminous amber rings, serves as both tribute and warning — after a cluster of badger deaths on that stretch of road. Sourced from eco-friendly acrylics, this piece highlights the resilience of nature and the urgency of safe driving.

Why it’s important:
