Wanted – A small piece of community land or part of a large garden for FREE
The Trees & Woodlands Group are toying with the idea of planting and maintaining a small woodland. The idea would be for members, who have for example, a gas guzzling car or fly on holiday frequently, to offset their carbon footprint by donating a tree which the Trees & Woodlands Group would look after for you.
If anyone knows of any suitable land please let us know via the contact form.
The NHS loneliness project is going really well, but more respondents would be welcome.
