Councillor Charlotte Carter, ward councillor for Brinsworth said:“It’s simple and easy to take part. All you need to do is let us know that you would like to take part and a newly planted tree near to your house will be allocated to you.”

Although RMBC is responsible for the trees, residents who adopt one can help to cultivate them.

To take part, send your name and address to the Council’s Tree and Woodland Engagement Officer Rebecca Dickinson at [email protected], or call 01709 850353.
