Burnley Green Party Councillors Scott Cunliffe, Andy Fewings and Sarah Hall, together with Green Party members and supporters, were delighted to join ‘Trees for Burnley’ volunteers for the Big Plant 3 on Sunday 27th November.
Over 550 trees were planted just off Deer Park Road in Towneley Park as the snow began to set in for a lovely wintry morning.
312 trees, including Oak and Crab Apple trees, were donated to ‘Trees for Burnley’ by private individuals – a huge thanks to them and ‘Trees for Burnley’ is in order.
Thanks should also go to the lovely people who arranged refreshments and baked goods for the hard working volunteers – everyone needed a hot brew afterwards!
‘Trees for Burnley’ were supported by Green Spaces staff from Burnley Council, so a huge thanks to them too.
A final thanks goes to two local residents who brought some variety to the mix! They ensured some healthy self-seeded trees found a new home – including alder, beech and apple trees.
We are reliably informed there will be many more plants before March 2022, so we hope to see you all at a tree planting event coming up soon, and you can make a donation to help us buy even more trees to plant at the bottom of this post.
