by defra in partnership with many other organisations PLANT A TREE in your street ADOPT A TREE in your street Beeston & District Civic Society, together with Broxtowe Borough Council, are launching a project to replace as many as possible of the large trees along roads that are missing. We plan to locate areas in streets and on small grassy patches in Beeston and district where extra trees will improve the appearance of the street ~ and we need your help to do this. When the sites have been chosen, the council will check suitability with regard to services below the pavement and liaise with Nottinghamshire County Council who have ultimate responsibility for the roads and footpaths. We will apply for funding from The Big Tree Plant funding scheme. We, with your help, anticipate planting the trees, which will be 8 – 12’ or so high (at planting), in Autumn 2012. At that point we will need TREE GUARDIANS ~ ideally the householder nearest the tree ~ to water and generally keep their eye on that tree for 2 to 3 years until it has matured sufficiently to be included in the council tree maintenance programme. If you would like to take part or want more details please email: Or phone 917 8488 |
