About this Event
*Note, if you wish to book more than 4 tickets, please contact us first.*
We are Community Trees MK and we are planting trees across the city of MK with local people.
We are partnering with The Parks Trust to plant 1,000 trees at a site by the river at Woughton on the Green. We are planting tree species which will improve local biodiversity, creating a hedgerow which will become a biodiversity highway through this area of MK. It will enhance the green space for all residents and as the trees grow they will absorb lots of carbon from the atmosphere.
This project was made possible with the support of a grant from The Tree Council's and Defra's Trees Outside Woodland Fund.
To plant trees with us you need to book places in advance.
