Celebrating with Nechells POD for the end of the UFA

Nechells POD recently held their POD Fest on 23rd August, and as part of the final UFA-related event, Katy teamed up with them once again (but certainly not for the last time) to bring many tree-themed activities to the celebrations!

Katy Hawkins, our Engagement Officer, has worked hard to establish lasting relationships with fantastic organisations around Birmingham during the Urban Forest Accelerator programme.

With previously seen watering can decoration, The Woodland Trust (one of our UFA partners) inspired tree guides/swatches, and even a playful tree dance routine with attendees contributing nature choreography – marking the end of the UFA project, but the start of a new era for Birmingham TreePeople, we want to thank our friends we have made during the last year, Nechells POD for this lovely event, and of course Katy, whose work has been instrumental in creating a better tree community in Birmingham!

Many thanks to our UFA partners National Trust, The Woodland Trust, Birmingham City Council, Community Forest Trust, and our sponsors for making this project happen, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), The National Lottery Heritage Fund, and One Tree Planted.
