Lone tree standing, very proud
Wrapped in natures, wild shroud
Waiting under the midday sun
For the wind to slowly run
Through its branches, that do sway
As the birds head its way
To rest their wings on its green
To gaze upon, their kingdom seen
That does stretch, so far away
As the clouds, they do play
In the skies, that i do see
Above the lone and beautiful tree
The European Tree Frog is a widespread species with an unfavourable-inadequate conservation
status in the majority of its EU range. Populations in the Netherlands and Belgium, amongst other countries, are
increasing. The species prefers a mosaic of habitats in landscapes including habitats of early successional stages,
such as recently created waters. The species is quite sensitive to changes in habitat, including loss and
fragmentation of forests, shrublands and meadows (with the isolation of populations) and the drainage and
pollution of wetlands; and the presence of predatory fish species. The most important measures in the
Netherlands and Belgium which contributed to the strong increase of the species are the development of
connected, large, high quality habitats which facilitate meta-population structures in the landscape. Moreover,
an active role of private landowners and the contributions of the project to the local economy and education
proved to be essential for a successful implementation of the conservation measures, resulting in long-term
involvement of the private and public partners and persistent socio-economic benefits. Factors hampering the
conservation of the tree frog are a lack of sufficient funding, and a loss of high-quality habitat due to house- and
roadbuilding, which is often compensated with lower quality habitat. As a pioneer species it can settle relatively
quickly in high quality habitat, but high connectivity between habitats, monitoring and long-term conservation
measures are essential for a sustainable population in the future.

Do you go for a real tree or an artificial one? I like the idea of the romance of picking out a real tree and the lovely pine scent wafting through the house. However, once you purchase an artificial tree you realize the pluses - not scratching up your vehicle during transportation, not having to cut the base level at home, not having to string the lights, not having to water it so it doesn't catch on fire, not having to vacuum the fallen dried pine needles and not having to figure out how to dispose of it.
