Trees are fantastic value just £3.50 and must be pre-ordered. You can purchase as few or as many as you like. Pre-ordered trees will then be available for collection from Pocklington on Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 November.
Emma Farley, Greener Pocklington Committee Member says:
“Planting a tree is a wonderful way to combat climate change whilst also creating vital habitat for insects, birds and other wildlife. Our garden tree weekend also helps us to raise vital funds which go towards planting trees, installing bird and bat boxes and creating wildlife habitats at local schools and community spaces - helping to inspire the next generation.”
For full information about how to pre-order your trees, please email PockTrees@gmail.com
The Greener Pocklington Group aims to combat the climate crisis and habitat loss through active projects within a 10 mile radius of Pocklington. The group gets involved with native tree planting and the creation of wildlife habitats through insect hotels, bird and bat boxes and more.
