OUR NEXT ARBOR DAY – 4th February 2021
Our next Arbor Day event will be a digital event, due to the issues around the current COVID outbreak and associated lockdown.
During the event, on Thursday the 4th of February 2021, we will be announcing our tree planting achievements and there will be a set of brilliant guest speakers talking about the value of trees – and about careers in arboriculture.
