David Bellamy's Brighton 'Tree Appeal'
Botanist Professor David Bellamy will be giving away five hundred native
broad leaved trees to be planted in family gardens across Brighton.
Trees are sponsored by local company Family Investments, who over the
past several years have planted over seven thousand trees through
environmental organisation Tree Appeal.
The festive tree planting marks the final event of the Big Nature
Partnership (www.BigBiodiversityCount.org.uk
<http://www.BigBiodiversityCount.org.uk>), designed to celebrate 2010 as
the International Year of Biodiversity.
With the planting of native trees in family gardens all over the city,
Brighton & Hove will raise its biodiversity in a single sweep.
Professor Bellamy says, "Trees are not just for Christmas and I would
like to share the enduring benefits of planting native trees with the
public. Planting trees in gardens encourages wildlife, which increases
biodiversity - creating a greener world and a better life for all."
Trees will be supplied on a first come, first served basis and will be
available for collection on Wednesday 15th December at the Pavilion
Gardens, where Professor Bellamy will give a short talk on the
importance of biodiversity. In addition, everyone who applies for a tree
can enter into a prize draw, with five lucky winners receiving a
personal visit from Professor Bellamy, who will help to plant their
tree.
Residents interested in adopting a free sapling for their garden can
register their application through Tree Appeal's website
