The Parks team are launching a free tree scheme where 500 free trees will be given out to residents during the 2021/2022 planting season. These will be whip trees – a very young tree about 1m in height. Residents are asked to plant these on their private land eg. garden. This is part of the larger tree planting programme for the borough with a goal of planting 5,000 new trees across the borough in 2021/2022. Link to the booking form for the event will be available from 13th October and 3 events for collection of the trees will be held during November, December and January.
