Dear Members The Club has been given 12,000 trees by Derbyshire Wildlife Trust to plant at Dunston as part of the site landscaping package under their Big Tree Planting scheme. We will be getting these in three lots over the next three winters. It is the responsibility of the Club to plant the trees and we have made arrangements already to plant 2,000 of the first batch in partnership with Derbyshire Probation Services. They will be doing this in January next year. We now have to arrange the planting of a further 2,000 trees over this winter.This is an ideal opportunity for local schools, guides and scouts and any other community organisation to join in and take part in an activity which will benefit both the Club and the local environment. Derbyshire Wildlife Trust will be involved along the way, visiting the participants and running classes or activity sessions for those that are taking part. If you are involved with any group that would might be interested in getting involved in this project or if you are able to pass the information on to a school that might join in then please do so. We can break down the package into lots of small quantities to suit the size of any group that gets involved. If you have any ideas or want to discuss further please contact Fred Pell on 01246 857480 or email thepells@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Kevin Brown 01246 235657 0795 849 8642
