Unknown assailants axed a tree at the Drumheller cemetery. Sources believe that the weapon used by the Grinch was an axe due to the markings and all that is left is the stump.
Kevin Blanchett, Operations Manager, Infrastructure Services at the Town Shop verified this was not one of the dedicated trees and this one had grown on the tree farm for a few years before being transplanted to the cemetery in 2013. The tree farm is a formed partnership between the Drumheller Penitentiary and the Town of Drumheller.
The damage was first noticed December 8 giving the time line of the crime to be December 5, 6 or 7.
If you have any information about this incident please contact the Town of Drumheller.
