At the edge of the camp is a willow tree, the biggest one on the island. Its large roots, combined with the half-underground burrow beneath the trunk make up the leader's den. Whenever the leader needs to make an announcement or call a Clan meeting, they simply jump onto the lowest hanging branch - though still rather high - and make their announcement. Albeit being the lowest branch, the Highbranch is still fit to be the place for announcements because everyone is able to see the leader as they speak and there is little risk of the branch breaking off or the leader slipping. The rest of the Clan can gather under the protective circle of the sweeping leaves to hear what the leader has to say.
