Following on from the hospitality shown to Members of the Reunion during the first "Return" in 2000 it was decided to present Bad Eilsen with a gift of a tree to mark the ten years that the RAF and other services had served there bewteen 1945 and 1955. The tree, a horsechestnut (Aecculus Hippocastanum), was planted in the spring and formally presented to the village during the second "Return" in 2001. From a small sapling it has now matured into a fine specimum and is well established within the other trees in the beautiful Englische Garden which runs uphill alongside the Harrlallee on site where the airmen's and airwomen's billets used to stand as shown on the following page.
