We had a really successful couple of hours this afternoon. We met Paul who gave us the 40 trees last week and learnt a few tips on how to plant to give trees a better start and make it easier for the people doing the mowing. Thanks to Aaron for his input, Kev, Paul, Pete, Dave, Val and Rich & family. A brilliant effort ❤

I need your help!

Anyone who follows me, has spoken to me on doors or just knows me in general knows I am keen to get more trees planted in Manor.

Rising Brook Ground Force are about to receive over 300 trees and they need places to plant them.

However I am also aware that not every site works for everyone, so if anyone can identify areas where you feel would be enhanced with some trees.

If you know of an area, please comment below, or drop me a message and I will see what I can do.
