Town Trees
The Council has pledged to plant 10,000 trees over the next three years to combat climate change.
If you know of a communal area that would be good to plant a single tree (or several) please get in touch, as we are looking for sites in all our towns and villages.
Trees and shrubs provide food and shelter for pollinating insects, mammals and birds. So if you are lucky enough to have a garden, let’s get planting for nature!
