400-year-old tree planted by James VI severely damaged by Storm Amy
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"The historic sycamore tree was planted by the 16th-century monarch in the grounds of Scone Palace and was ravaged by the storm last week, which saw 96mph winds sweep across Scotland. Staff at the palace were heartbroken to discover the tree had been severely damaged during the storm, and vowed to do everything possible to preserve what remains of this historic tree."
Donations enable journalists to report on reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech and fund investigative projects such as examining political PACs and producing documentaries about American reproductive-rights activists. Funding helps maintain reporters on the ground to present multiple perspectives and keeps reporting accessible without paywalls by relying on supporters who can afford to pay. A 400-year-old sycamore planted by King James VI at Scone Palace was severely damaged by Storm Amy's 96mph winds. Tree surgeons carefully restored and rebalanced the branches, and staff plan to honour the tree's legacy by using wood from the fallen limb as a lasting reminder.
