TRUSTEES of the Lumb Brook Millennium Green at Appleton were joined by volunteers and Jo Sayers from the Mersey Forest to plant fruit trees donated under an initiative supported by the National Big Tree Plant campaign.
This is a campaign to help communities plant more trees where they live and work and it has a target of planting a million trees by April this year.
The campaign has the support of major bodies including Defra and the Forestry Commission, environmental charities and other agencies including England’s Community Forests and the Woodland Trust.
The Millennium Green holds an annual “Spring Day” which this year will be on March 21, between 10am and 12 noon. Anyone who wants to get involved – and enjoy refreshments that will be provided – will be welcome to help with pruning and maintenance work and giving the Green a general tidy-up in preparation for the year ahead.
