The Wendover Memorial Woodland in Buckinghamshire was created 10 years ago after the land was gifted to a charity, at the time called Iain Rennie Hospice at Home, now Rennie Grove Hospice. It contained tributes and trees in memory of loved ones who died battling illness and disabilities, including an oak for Alanya Tanner. Mum Yvonne, 46, discovered the tree had been chopped down when she visited on the anniversary of Alanya’s death. Tracey Hancock, of Rennie Grove, said the charity wrote to all families with a tree on the site but later found one did not receive their letter. She added Rennie Grove had assured the family “that we are doing all we can to restore the woodland once construction has been completed”.
