Join tree planting event in Aylesbury as part of Bucks Tree Mission
Residents are being invited to get outdoors by joining tree planting events across Buckinghamshire this winter.
The events, including one in Aylesbury, are part of the Bucks Tree Mission to plant 543,000 trees - one for every resident in the county. Established in 2021, the programme Bucks Council programme supports the council’s work to tackle climate change, improve air quality and help communities thrive.
By planting more trees, the council is helping to improve local neighbourhoods, support nature and shape places where people and communities can thrive.
Volunteer planting events include:
Iver Village: Wednesday, November 25 and Saturday, November 28
Meadowcroft Open Space, Aylesbury: Friday, December 4, Saturday, December 5 and Monday, December 7
Saunderton: Thursday, December 10.
Councillor Ade Osibogun, Buckinghamshire Council’s Cabinet Member for Environment, Climate Change and Waste, said: “Our winter planting events are a great opportunity to get outdoors, meet other people and make a lasting difference to your local area.
“Every tree planted takes us another step towards our Bucks Tree Mission target. These trees will help improve air quality, slow surface water run-off, provide homes for wildlife and create greener, healthier places for residents to enjoy.
“You don’t need any previous experience to take part. Whether you can give a couple of hours or stay for the day, your help will be greatly appreciated. I encourage residents to sign up and join us in planting a greener future for Buckinghamshire.”
Places should be booked in advance with event details via through the Bucks Tree Mission webpage.
