New Arboretum Help

[clyde]

Hi Guys

 

Looking for advise on proposed New Arboretum within West lothian, Have managed to get the local schools eco clubs on board who would loved to assist in the planting programme and have spoken to senior council members about proposed site within an existing country park which seemed to go down well. but when i mentioned funding it had them running for cover, some elected members stated that i should try some of the nurseries that we buy our summer bedding from, and ask if some local companies would donate a tree instead of asking for cash Not a bad shout, but all have stated that they could supply the trees but things where to slow to donate a few trees, but try again next year. Any advise would be greatly welcomed.
