Plant a tree at Itchen Valley Country Park to expand its woodland

[ad_1]

Groups of up to five can come along and plant a tree for £10 on one of three planting days to be held in January and February, or sponsor a tree for a staff member to plant for them. 

The sponsored tree planting, back for a third year, is part of Eastleigh Borough Council’s Plant Eastleigh Campaign, to help improve biodiversity and tackle climate change.

The trees are whips (young, single stem trees) from the council-run tree nursery in Horton Heath. They will be planted alongside others to expand an area of native woodland, providing habitats for wildlife.

Plant Eastleigh is a drive for residents, businesses, and community organisations to plant 160,000 more trees in Eastleigh Borough by 2030. The project contributes to the Government-led England Trees Action Plan.

The planting days are on January 13 and 27 and February 10.
