"Plant Killer" single plants 47 trees

20 October 2014

A Liverpool-based singer has raised enough money to plant 47 trees through a charity fundraising event to promote her new single, "Plant Killer". 

 

Chanel Samson's Plant Killer was launched at an event at 24 Kitchen Street, Liverpool, on 12 October. The event included interpretative dance, art, and music, and a bake-sale, as well as the first showing of the single's music video.

 

Over the course of the evening, Samson raised £93, which will go towards the planting of 47 trees in Merseyside and North Cheshire this winter. 

 

Chanel said: "What started out as a love song became an environmental piece, and I'm so glad it did. Instead of just talking about how humans use more resources than we can replenish, I decided to take action.

 

"The release event helped to raise awareness and brought together the green community in Liverpool."

 

Paul Nolan, Director of The Mersey Forest, who attended the launch of Plant Killer, said: "I'd like to thank Chanel on behalf of everyone at The Mersey Forest for her donation and fundraising efforts.

 

"The trees will be planted this winter as part of our tree-planting programmes across Merseyside and North Cheshire, and will contribute towards our ten million tree target." 

 

The Mersey Forest will plant one tree for every copy of Plant Killer sold. You can get your hands on your copy on iTunes.
