Jack Straw
I look nothing like him!
Saturday 23rd November is the start of National Tree Week.
Regardless of promises made by political parties to plant millions of trees, it's a case of the more the merrier.
Trees create an ecosystem to provide habitat and food for birds and other animals. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and potentially harmful gasses, such as sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, from the air and release oxygen. One large tree can supply a day's supply of oxygen for four people.
How about an NSC Plant a Tree project?
Even if you only have a small garden, there is a tree or large shrub that would be suitable. If you aren't lucky enough to have your own garden, is there a friend or relative you visit frequently who wouldn't mind a new addition in the way of a tree? Or you could approach your local Council and see if you could donate a tree and see it planted near where you live, in a verge or park.
Trees make wonderful gifts, either receiving one or giving one, and what with Christmas looming.
You don't have to plant a tree next week. You can plant it when you want. I thought that anyone on here who fancies this could take a photo of it after it is planted, then throughout the year, post more photos of progress.
There is lots on the internet to help you choose the right sort of tree, or failing that, ask on this thread.
