I found these in The Scorched Grove (32, 83).
cause if the treants re-grow the grove, the trees will grow up infected with the plague and the "taint" of the scourge´s path to quel´thalas (the dead scar) will grow more

Description
These are difficult times for us, {name}. It was a very hard decision to burn the woods bordering the Ghostlands to prevent the Scourge's expansion. The treants, who have been our friends for years, are now trying to foster the regrowth of the forest along the Scorched Grove. This is a painful thing to ask of you, {class}, but we've failed to convince our former allies to cease their endeavors. I need you to stop them by the only means that remain to us: force.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Pelt Collection
The springpaw that inhabit this region are known for their high quality pelts. We've even seen night elf scum travel to these lands just to poach them. Our skirmishes with the Amani have put a bit of a strain on our supply of gear and our rangers don't have much time to hunt for pelts anymore.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Party Never Ends
I like to throw parties... just a little something to celebrate the magnificence that is Quel'Thalas! But, I'm in a bit of a bind. I need you to gather up more party supplies. From Vinemaster Suntouched at the Silvermoon City inn, bring me a bottle of Suntouched Special Reserve.
