2 Trees Stolen From Rockland County Park Who steals a tree?! This could possibly be one of the most absurd and disheartening stories you'll read today. According to a notice on a tree, someone has actually stolen two other trees from a Rockland County Park. Yes, someone stole trees from a park. Not a flower or a shrub, but a tree. According to a post on Facebook, this is extra upsetting because the trees that were stolen were planted as part of a youth environmental project. The project hoped to bring awareness to climate change and help the local environment. These students worked with the 4-H program part of the Cornell Cooperative Extension program. Students researched what trees to plant, talked to local experts, and ultimately planted the trees themselves.
