An ancient oak stands where people want to build, but the tree is more than wood and leaves. It is a whole neighborhood for Owl, Squirrel, Mistlethrush, Dunnock, Bat, Rabbit, and other creatures who depend on it for home and safety.
In this children’s play, a public meeting turns into a bigger question about progress, nature, and responsibility. When the tree is threatened, the animals’ panic and courage show what could be lost if no one listens.
Thoughtful and stage-friendly, The See-saw Tree invites young readers and performers to think about environmental choices from both human and animal points of view. It works well for classrooms, drama groups, and readers who like stories with real-world stakes.
