Squirrels, Trees and Nuts

When magic returned to the world, certain plants and animals awoke and became dual natured, having both a physical and astral form. As time progressed to 2085 some of these plants are animals developed an increased intelligence. Such as the English Walnut and the British Red Squirrel.
The walnut and other trees that awoke, developed the ability to determine which of the nuts they produced would have the best chance at forming a sapling. The trees would then direct more energy and nutrients to these nuts to give the them every opportuntity to become a sapling.
The squirrels were quite the opposite. They learned to tell which of the nuts were the most nutritious so that they could fatten their chubby little cheeks up for the long cold winter months.
In an effort to product their precious nuts and ensure their future, the trees developed a specialized leaf. A transparent leaf that would be more difficult to see as it would be flung from the higher branches to deter the thieving squirrels. These specialized leaves are razor sharp and turn crimson red when striking a target. Squirrel or otherwise.
The squirrels to counter this developed a heightened ability to leap and glide to the branches, allowing them to avoid having to climb the now perilous tree trunks. 
The Royal Gardners in charge of Her Majesty's Parks have the difficult task of keeping the public safe. Most of their efforts are directed against squatters. Those unfortunate homeless who wander about our city streets looking for something good to eat.
Sadly many people ignore the public safety signs.
