National Tree Week 25th Nov - 6th Dec 2009

[Andy Clark]

Not sure how many of you are aware, but as a Tree Warden i thought it wise to note that today is the start of the Tree Councils "National Tree Week" campaign.

 

As an explanation guide to what National Tree Week entails, the following extract is taken from the Tree Council website.

 

'First mounted in 1975, National Tree Week is UK's largest tree celebration annually launching the start of the winter tree planting season.

 

National Tree Week is a great chance for communities to do something positive for their local treescape. Each year, Tree Council member organisations such as voluntary bodies and local authorities, up to 200 schools and community groups, our 8,000 Tree Wardens and many others, support the initiative by setting up fun, worthwhile and accessible events, inspiring upward of a quarter of a million people to get their hands dirty and together plant around million trees.

 

Do you want to be part of this great collective achievement? Please go to the events list to find out about the kind of activities taking place in your area. If you're interested in organising your own event, read further to get some useful tips on how to organise successful tree planting activities and to register your event, so that other people can come and join you!'

 

 

Remember folks, it's not all about chainsaws, big trucks and shiney climbing gadjets....... if we don't also promote planting, then we'll soon be out of a job.
