Tree Giveaway for the Queen's Green Canopy
We've had a great time meeting residents at events and markets in Dunstable, Biggleswade, Houghton Regis and Leighton Buzzard this month, giving trees away as part of the Queen’s Green Canopy celebrations, encouraging them to plant a tree for the Jubilee.
The trees, hawthorn, birch and field maple were available on a first-come-first-serve basis and officers explained how to plant and take care of the trees, and people filled out a tree adoption care form.
Following the success of the pilot, we are planning more tree giveaway events across towns in the Autumn, in line with the tree planting season.
We have created a guide on where to plant, permissions, choosing what to plant and caring for your tree or hedgerow.
