======National Tree Week26th November – 7th December "Trees Matter - Plant Them and celebrate the start of the winter planting season "
National Tree Week
is the Tree Council's festival to mark the start of the tree planting season,
and a nationwide celebration of trees and woods. National Tree Planting Year
1973 (with its slogan of "Plant a Tree in 73") led to the founding of
The Tree Council to bring together organisations working for trees. It
ran the first National Tree Week in 1975. Now, up to a million trees are
planted each year as a result of this winter festival. This Society is donating a tree each to the following 14 local Primary Schools; Alderman Pounder, Beeston Fields, Beeston Rylands, Bramcote C of E, Bramcote Primary, College House, Dagfa House, Eskdale, Foxwood, John Clifford, Meadow Lane, Roundhill, Sunnyside and Trent Vale. Funding has been kindly arranged through the Grassroots Grants Programme at the Nottinghamshire Community Foundation. This year’s National Tree Week is the 26th November – 7th December and the trees will be delivered to the schools for them to plant themselves during this period. ====== You can find our letter to the Directorate of Planning & Community Development at Broxtowe Borough Council, giving our concerns and objections to the new Tesco planning application, on the News page. ====== Our next public Presentation takes place on Friday 12th December 2008, when mince pies and festive drinks will also be served. Details of a change to the Speaker and Topic will be announced on this page shortly as soon as they can be confirmed. |
