Last Saturday was a very special day for everyone who has been involved with Heartwood Forest. After many months of planning and hard work the very first trees were planted and the whole community celebrated by planting trees.
Lady Verulam, the patron of the project was there to say and few words about how special this project is and plant one of the very first trees, as well as our chief executive, Sue Holden and three children who have taken part in our Tree For All tree planting project.

The day continued with everyone joining in and having a go at planting trees. It was a fantastic day, the weather was kind and we managed to plant nearly 5,000 trees. If you did come along to this special event then I hope you enjoyed it, let us know your thoughts on here.
