Help to plant trees this December in Newport
Plant a tree this December to help the environment
Newport residents will do their part in helping the environment on December 3, by planting 150 trees.
The Woodland Park Tree Day, in association with National Tree Week, is a chance for the community to come together to plant in their local area.
John Hallam, Treasurer of the Maindee Festival Association, responsible for putting on the event, says that it is important to plant trees, for educational purposes as much as for sustainability.
He says, “Part of the raison d’etre is to work with other members of the community to do direct positive work, to strengthen the sense of local identity and give people pride in their neighbourhood and their local area.”
The trees have been donated by the Woodland Trust.
