Deal With It, Deal’s local green community group, is giving away one hundred trees this Christmas as a response to recent UN IPCC report on Climate Change.
Adrian Sullivan co-organiser of the initiative said “We wanted to do something positive and practical in response to the recent IPCC ‘life changing’ report on Climate Change.
Trees are a symbol of hope and a real investment for the future.
We see this as a first wave of this initiative and we will be looking at activities in 2019 to foster tree planting in public and private spaces.”
Sue Sullivan co-organiser of the initiative said “The trees in scheme are all native ones; Dogwood, Blackthorne, Hawthorne, Crab apple, Cherry Plum, Blind Cherry, Hazel, Spindle and Guelder Rose.
As well as locking in carbon and cleaning the air of pollution all these varieties are also beneficial to wildlife.
Trees also come with planting and care instructions.
We see this as a small first step to greening Deal, eventually creating a virtual forest in the town”
Adrian and Sue will have the trees available on Friday 14th December from 10am to 1pm at the Landmark Garden and will also be at the Deal With It ‘Winter Solstice Celebration’ on Friday 21st December between 5:30pm to 7pm.
