Another planting season completed!
It was great to be out planting again between November 2021 completing 20 plantings by the end of March 2022 and amazing to be able to welcome back our sponsors, volunteers, schools and supporters as we planted the 100,000th tree for the project.
More “Trees for Life” will be planted from November 2022 to April 2023 in collaboration with a new Birmingham charity Birmingham Tree People, a network of Birmingham Tree Wardens.
We thank you all for your patience, understanding and support over the past two years we couldn’t have carried on without you.
