Tree planting season kicks off with weekend of action

26 November 2018

Tree planting season is here – and we celebrated with a weekend of action with tree planting events in communities in Liverpool and Ellesmere Port.

There's a new sense of urgency to this year's season since the recent IPCC report on climate change warned that we need a huge expansion of tree planting to help meet the target of preventing warming increasing above 1.5 degrees.

On Saturday we kicked off National Tree Week by helping the community plant the new 'Tiber Forest' at the Greenhaus Project, Tiber site, Lodge Lane in Liverpool:
And we celebrated Tree Charter Day in Westminster Park, Ellesmere Port:

On Sunday we joined Chester West and Chester Council and Garden Quarter Community to plant bulbs and trees around Wenlock Lane Play Area in Ellesmere Port.

Earlier in the week we helped two Ellesmere Port schools – St Saviour's RC Primary & Our Lady Star of the Sea – plant over 300 trees. Here's a fantastic video of some of the pupils in action!
